Useless

I normally don't write reviews. I was excited to see a heart warming tale about a teen working through her grief. Yet, right from the beginning it was awful. I continued to watch hoping it would get better. No, it didn't happen.

Not sure how long all these actors have been acting, yet there is no real emotion, Or believability in their rolls, happy, sad, or anything, or people actually having a real conversation.

It's like they're reading the script, yet blah, blah, blah, like the Principle on Ferris Bueller's day off, "Bueller? Bueller? No chemistry between the Aunt and Uncle. "Huckleberry Pancakes?" Even then no excitement. No excitement, or enthusiasm, no convincing it's a story being told. The fight between was stupidly done, g

Best actor is the supposed to be nerdy college kid Kyle. He seemed like he had more acting, ability, and showed excitement, disappointments, like he knew how to act. I wish there was more of him acting wouldn't have been so long of a movie.

It was mundane.all throughout this movie. Best part were the horses, and Kyle.

90% cinematic shots with awfully depressing music. 10% terrible acting. The horses are nice tho.

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.

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.

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.
