Very well executed
Perfect cast and a good story
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Yes of course it's formulaic but if you're in the mood for a love story set in gorgeous scenery, there's plenty to enjoy. Some people can't help sneering at this sort of film. It's actually upbeat and there's plenty to be said for that. The underlying theme revolves around loyalty. If you require cynicism look elsewhere.
I enjoy Andrew McCarthy, and he has aged fabulously, but this movie made me cringe nearly the entire time I was watching it-- and I'm a romance buff who has seen and read a lot of pretty saccharine stuff! While one wants to feel sympathy for his character and the troubles he has been through, the tired, trite stoicism makes it difficult to care, and the reactions and lines of some of the supporting characters-- Edward, Laurie, etc.-- are also stock sugar, predictable to the very end.The conflicts of the movie are sparing at best and ill-resolved, and there's a continued attempt at some sort of suspense that falls horribly flat as it falters toward the end. The backdrop of this movie is beautiful, and Andrew McCarthy has never looked better, but on the whole, the storyline and its boring, yawning turns were not up to par.
This is the kind of movie that makes you remember your childhood, when movies did not have to contain sex, violence and cursing. I am an action loving, shoot & kill movie fan. Every once in awhile, I need a movie like this one in order to make me realize that there is love and tenderness in the world. The two lead characters, Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy, did a wonderful job playing their roles. The direction was good. The photography was EXCELLENT. The horses were GORGEOUS! Yes, I am a horse lover! I had no idea, prior to seeing the move, that the screenplay is mostly about horses. Some rainy or snowy day, when you are forced to stay inside, find a good friend and watch this movie together.
I love this movie. Andrew McCarthy is great in anything he does. The entire cast was great and I love how he learned to love again. The only flaw I saw was that it didn't really explain why Sarah's father decided to change his mind. After having such hatred for Ty for the 6 years of her death I don't think just the few words that was exchanged between Jordan and him in front of the post office was enough to make a difference. I wish they would have expanded on that just a little. Other than that I don't know of any other part I would have replaced or changed. I would like to know where to purchase this movie. I have looked on the Hallmark website.
