The best TV movie I have seen in a long time!!!

I must say that I haven't seen a good TV movie in the longest time, until now. This true story about a Princess from the Middle East falls in love with a Mormon from Las Vegas, Nevada while he is on assignment for the U.S Marines. Mark-Paul Gosselaar has really broken away from his type casting as Zack Morris of his Saved By the Bell years. If you think that you have gone through some hardships for love, take a look at this story, and you will be one-upped! And in real life the story continues with death threats and denial of asylum. I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!
