The Real West

I loved this movie. It was romantic (which is the Hallmark standard), but it wasn't formula (you know, the tired old story about a boy meeting a girl, they hate each other then fall in love...yawn). We have a unique plot and a mom who loves her kids and whose kids love her back. Yes, she's a widow (but how can an older woman fall in love again if she isn't a widow and ex-husbands tend to be so messy). The young men who play their sons do a great job and the girl who plays the oldest son's girlfriend was absolutely adorable!

Without giving away the story line, I think I'll just say die hard Hallmark fans will love this movie.

P.s. I didn't give it a 10 because I reserve that for Oscar-worthy movies, but a 9 means I love, love, love it.

This is a FANTASTIC movie; a real gem. And with GREAT acting and chemistry between the 2 main characters. Whoever bashes this movie is a bitter and sad human being who needs to get a life.

I can watch this movie over and over.

Kimberley is a very talented actress and Lucas is one fine man. They make a beautiful onscreen couple and they rock the screen.

All the characters are so real and it is refreshing to see the females looking more natural: eg hair and faces. And the 2 main men are very fine....

This is definitely one of the best love stories. Absolutely loved it!

With this movie there is hope for Hallmark.

I thought this movie was well done and that the chemistry between the leads was off the charts. Both Kimberly Sustad and Lucas Bryant showed through their body language how attracted they were, yet how life circumstances held them back from acting upon their desires. It seemed totally plausible to me. Having spent a vacation at a ranch in Montana, I know how quickly you can feel closeness with the other people who stay there.

The plot was not simplistic and insipid (as it was in the "Heiress" movie from last week). It was a well written script with excellent performances by everyone in the cast. Definitely recommend it and would watch it again (and again and again).

(How much more can I add to this review to meet the minimum character requirement?)

My wife and I enjoyed this movie last night, and although we were prepared for something a little more hokey, we were pleasantly surprised by the storyline, the level of acting, and undeniable chemistry between the two leads. The strong silent type is underrated.

The scene where the family shares their emotional good-byes was very touching... Watching it again right now, and picking up on little nuances I missed last night, and enjoying some poignant moments once more. Both actors gave Hallmark tenure, but together they are believable, enjoyable and memorable. Now that I'm inspired, where is my cowboy hat?

Wow, had to pull out my phone and Shazam the song Cowboys Like Me. I hadn't heard of Coffey Anderson before, but his voice...and this song... are amazing! Went to YouTube to listen to the whole song, wow!

Darn-this character minimum.
