Useless

Yes the pace is slow, but after a bit I became used to it. I'm from the east coast and we speak fast. But I worked at a company with operations all over the country and people out west speak more slowly by comparison and with a significantly reduced range of inflection. I've seen easterners who have been relocated to our western operations and after a couple of years, they end up speaking slowly too. That this film reflects that shouldn't be a deterrent to its enjoyment. Regional dialects are dying out in this country, which is a pity. Oh, and Brooke Wilson looks exponentially better on a horse than John Wayne ever did.

This actress had no vocal inflection is boring boring boring. Seen many much more talented actresses who never get a part like this. Smh. Story is pretty trite/formulaic, but that was expected. The scenery was breathtaking.

Everything was wooden. Storyline was good but there was no chemistry among any of the actors. The horses and scenery were the best parts of the movie.

I don't recall if there is a min word count but I am trying to save y'all from this one... the budget was $25k - i just read this - well ... i have nothing good to say about this effort

The reviews so far seem to be "love it or hate it," with little actual information. I thought it was fair-to-good, realizing that as an older adult I'm not the target audience, which would seem to be horse-loving teenage girls. The acting is mostly wooden with a few exceptions, one of those being Michael Christensen as the shy but kind, nerdy college student Kyle. The pacing is slow, and more explanation of what makes barrel racing a sport could have been briefly given, because the way it's shown there seems to be hardly anything to it. The cinematography is beautiful and the shots of the snow-covered mountains and and sunsets of Montana never get old. Probably not a movie I'll ever re-watch, but some of the scenery and rodeo shots will stay with me.
