In a departure from L.M. Montgomery's book series, this third TV movie jumps ahead to World War I and puts Anne and her beloved Gilbert smack in the middle of it. Instead of marrying Gilbert after her teaching days--as she does in the books--Anne spends a disillusioning year with him in New York City, and then the couple quickly marries before the good doctor ships out to France. (In the book Rilla of Ingleside, Anne's sons go to war and her youngest daughter is separated from her sweetheart.) Impetuous as ever, Anne joins the Red Cross and crosses the pond to track down her husband when his letters are returned unread. What follows is an adventure that takes her through battle zones--where the bodies pile up faster than you can say Saving Private Ryan--and on to London with a half-orphaned baby, her best friend's injured husband, and a tangle of international intrigue. Fans of the 10-book series may balk at the divergences and the fact that very little time is spent on Prince Edward Island. But the book's unrestrained romanticism and unapologetic sentimentality remain intact, as well as the surviving cast of the prior two movies, most notably Megan Follows as Anne and Jonathan Crombie as Gilbert. This movie, produced in 2000, clocks in at 185 minutes and is suitable for ages 9 and older. --Kimberly Heinrichs

A mangled masculinization of Anne
I have LOVED Anne of Avonlea, and LMM's other works. They are set in a very idealistically peaceful and simple setting, with simple adventures. And the simpleness and peacefulness of the stories are one of the most aluring attributes to the story. But this movie was none of that. It completely mangled LMM's work into a masculinized, bloody, explosion filled adrenaline pumping, conspiracy theory guy's movie, completely destroying the sole of the characters and the real heart in the Anne stories. It doesn't fit with the rest of the series at all.

If L.M. Montgomery was alive right now, she would slap Kevin Sullivan in the face
This film does not even deserve 1 star..I deem this film NEGATIVE 5 Stars. It is possibly one of the WORST films I have ever seen. Not only is the film a betrayal of Anne of Green Gables, but even in its betrayed form, Anne of Green Gables: the Continuing Story is not an interesting story at all. It does not redeem Kevin Sullivan's ridiculous script. The narrative is a common storyline (wife looking for husband in a war-torn world) with terrible acting. I had problems with the 1st sequel since it did not really follow Anne of Avonlea. Sullivan tried to combine Anne of Avonlea and Anne of the Island with bits and pieces from Anne of Windy Poplars. This sequel ONLY worked because the acting was good. The 2nd Sequel, HOWEVER, is even more atrocious. Anne over in Europe? Looking for Gilbert? with a baby named Dominic???? WHERE THE HELL is this story from?

If Kevin Sullivan had a SOUL, he would've made this 2nd Sequel about Anne's House of Dreams. This terrible film leads me to believe that either A. Kevin Sullivan was desperate for work and thus made this horrendous film
B. Megan Follows and Jonathan Crombie were desperate for work since they were now reduced to B-List actors after Anne of Green Gables glory days.

Whatever the reason, this film should have NEVER BEEN MADE. Now I hear he is making a PREQUEL????!!!!!!! Someone should tell this man to stop ruining Anne of Green Gables and find HIS OWN FREAKING STORY TO FILM!!!

Wonderful Story
My husband, our 18-year old granddaughter, and myself just love Ann of Green Gables. We've seen them all, and never grow tried of watching them. If you're interested in G-rated movies, then this is a wonderful choice.
