Rancho JL: O Casamento

Yes this reminds me of The Series Yellowstone only way more family friendly. Yes I will recommend it. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 5/13/2021.

To me, this movie didn't flow with enough connections between the various characters. I kept being puzzled. During the movie, I started looking on the internet and found out it was a movie series from Hallmark Drama, which I don't have on my provider, so I had not seen. This then made a little more sense to me. Teri Polo and Dylan Walsh had me watching to the end because I was vested enough in their story to want to find out what happened. The main drawback was the overview background that was assumed a viewer would understand, but I didn't.

OK, I made it through this film. I somehow got the feeling I had missed something, like I had tuned in to a soap opera already in progress. It seems that there was a previous film and then it sort of made sense. The problem is some people never saw the first one and didn't know the characters. It was a miscalculation to make the assumption that viewers joining the ranch would know what was going on. Anyhow the script and story were predicable. Acting, for the most part, was mediocre. Voight and Caan have, as a friend of mine used to say, have "reached." Teri Polo and, surprisingly, Bo Derek gave charming and credible performances considering the script they had to work with. It was a mishmash, choppy and hard to follow. It may put you to sleep, so if you need a good nap, go for it. As for me, I hope Hallmark puts this ranch project on permanent hiatus.

I LOVED IT!! A MUST SEE! Surprisingly great A list cast, feel good story, many steps up from Hallmarks typical story line. I had not seen the first one before seeing this one and I followed it easily. If you're wanting to see a great movie, you want to see this one! My top favorite movie! ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT!!

The daughter (Lynn) was a very bad actress and totally took down the overall success of the movie. Her facial expressions and every movement screamed as a cheap actress. Too bad for the rest of the crew.
