The Counterfeit Kid

If you're on the fence about watching this film, just do it! Totally worth it. So many gems to look out for. First, the scenery in this movie is second to none. Sometimes I got caught up just looking at the breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys and had to remind myself to focus on the story! The score was fabulous and could not have complimented the views any better. The plot and storyline were clever, suspenseful and hilarious. I also really enjoyed the well appointed special effects that made some of the scenes especially interesting. If you watch closely, you will find them. Watch it, you won't be sorry!

Six hundred characters really? Well if that's the requirement here goes- I was so happy to finally see a movie that was filmed in beautiful Wyoming . What a wonderful script. Funny, clean and clever. The scenery was beyond gorgeous and I was happy to watch an hour and a half movie instead of the two to three hour so called Hollywood blockbusters of today. No CGI just natural beauty. I loved the casting and freshness of this movie. Bring your kids and grandkids. It is not a dead serious western but more of a love story with lots of humor. I hope to see many more films that leave me smiling when I leave the theater.

This one really hits the necessary thresholds for a great movie imo: Keeps you interested, well paced, beautiful cinematography, not overbearing, and well directed. The film has some edge to it which is surprising from an indy family-friendly movie. Like other great romances like Han and Leia, Jack Burton and Gracie Law, Westley and Buttercup, and even Ash and Sheila, Jack and Olivia are a fun couple to cheer for. The beauty of Wyoming and Utah are jaw dropping to say the least, and the film crew did a fabulous job with the set/wardrobe/script. The score and the acting are a perfect pairing. One of the best parts of the movie are the comedic genius and family friendly humor. Take a chance on this one! It's worth it.

I must confess, I'm not a fan of country genre. I searched "Romantic/Comedy" to which this title was the first available on one of my subscribed/free Accts on my Roku.

To me, it was seemingly predictable for the first 18.50 minutes. After that moment it appeared to have a fresh air about it and began to take off. I also really liked the light-hearted quirky music that was running through the movie. The plot was simple and there was sub-plot upon many more sub-plots. All leading the main character, Jack back to his intended girl, Olivia by way of another main plot of finding the hidden treasure in the mountains. There's definitely some surprises along the way. But there's mayhem afoot from all Jack's deceptive ways and the conceits that soon take hold... where will it lead him and what trouble will he have to find his way out from? Will he learn any life lessons along the way?

But don't forget... there's a villain.

It's a light-hearted and pleasant movie to watch. A great distresser after a hectic day.

Unexpectedly, I enjoyed this movie.

What great fun!! Beautiful scenery and soundtrack! Wonderful family friendly movie with a good moral. Chaco character stole the show but Jack/Bloody Ben was nice to look at. Being from Wyoming I connected with so much of the locations and scenery. The fall colors are just beautiful.

The music was top notch for an Indie movie as well. The orchestration was just lovely and I especially loved when it corresponded to each character such as when Chaco appears you get his "theme", which is a Spanish guitar.

Costuming was also on point for the time period of the film. Just an all around wonderful film for the whole family!
