If you're looking for a feel-good, bit of a tear jerker country romance movie, then this is for you!
Very much so along the lines of Nichols Sparks romances and that's more than okay by me.
No, it's not a blockbuster nor does it stray from a bit of cliche. But does that make it any less enjoyable? No.
I'm not going to write about the plot, the acting etc. I don't need to. This is a feel good movie with some beautiful country music to boot. Give it a go.

A 2018 romance which opens up w/Jessica Rothe all decked out for her big day, she's about to get married, but then horror of horrors she's left at the altar. Fast forward 8 years & the absentee groom, Alex Roe, is revealed to be a hugely popular country music star whose success is only matched by his insistence to get drunk & hook up w/a rando during his tour stops but one morning he hears one of his friends has passed in a car accident (one of his best men from his wedding). Roe decides to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral halfway knowing he'll eventually run into Rothe who now runs a flower shop & has a daughter, Abby Ryder Fortson (the daughter from the first 2 Ant-Man films). It comes out Fortson is indeed his daughter putting Coe in the unenviable position to be a father while trying to clean up his act & win back Rothe's heart but after a mishap w/Fortson nearly choking during a family cookout, Roe is shellshocked enough to leave town w/the audience wondering will he make a reappearance before the credits roll. Posited somewhere between a religious film (Coe's dad, John Benjamin Hickey, is the town's pastor) & a Nicholas Sparks knockoff, the film is amiably entertaining even though Coe is pretty much a closed book in his performance w/Rothe a welcome addition to the enterprise (along w/her turn in All My Life) running the show w/flinty determination. Look for singer Travis Tritt in a small role as, you guessed it, a singer at a bar.
This movie would be fine if the guy hadnt left the girl at the altar at the beginning of the movie and then disappeared for 10 years. I have a hard time believeing that any woman who that happened to would just fall back in love with the guy without so much as an apology from him. She punched him once as payback and then they were back on good terms. It feels like most of the movie overlooked that unforgivable first scene and pretended it happened happened. All in all a nice story but felt really head-in-the clouds unrealistic. This girl should know her own worth!!
There are many movies that resembles this story yet this one is something different. Very genuine acting from all the performers and the story is beautiful. nothing extra ordinary but a simple urban story of a dad finding and discovering his love for his daughter. No major twist but simply put the struggles and coming on between the bonding of families. loved it.
Did you know
- TriviaWolf has said that she discovered singer/songwriter, Jackson Odell, literally in her own back yard. She has said that Odell is one of her son's close friends, and that Odell was singing and playing "Smokin & Cryin" in her back yard one night 3 years before filming commenced, when she was still in development on the film. Wolf recalls that she went into the back yard and asked Odell if she could call his parents in the morning because she wanted to put the song into a movie that she was working on. Odell was 17-years-old at the time. That song is featured in the film with Roe singing it on stage in a concert scene that takes place in London. Odell went on to co-write many of the songs in the film with music producer and songwriter, Brett Boyett: "Don't Water Down My Whiskey", "Enough", "Wings of an Angel", and "Finally Home".
- GoofsLeading up to the fancy date night in New Orleans, Josie's hair was straight. During the date her hair had some styling curls in it. Immediately after the date was concluded, her hair was straight once more.
