Trouver l'amour à Valentine

Sweet love story I got to enjoy with my husband. Not all that predictable. In fact my husband and I made a bet over something we thought would take place. Now he owes me a back massage. *wink

A straightforward, sweet & predictable romance movie. Nothing to be excited over, just decent. Watching. It's appropriate for watching as a family, with your date or on your own. Great scenery and if you like country scenery with horses, then this is a good choice. Nothing complicated here, just good to watch to relax and take away some stress. Acting is ok, nothing to shout about. Chemistry between main leads is alright, nothing to set your heart flipping. Halfway through the movie, I felt I had watched it before - well, that just told me it wasn't memorable first time round but ok enough for me to re-watch on a lazy afternoon.

Seems like I just watched almost the same story a couple weeks ago. So much is predictable.

Some of it is a bit cheesy. Somehow parts of it felt clumsy. Kennedy's speech to Derek near the end was poorly done - overplayed.

Even so, most of it is a sweet story with a bit of intrigue and danger thrown in.

I haven't seen Michaela McManus before, but I liked her. I didn't see much chemistry with Diogo Morgado. He was too reserved and their screen time was diluted with so many other things going on. A lot of the movie is about Kennedy finding out about the ranch and her history.

It was a nice movie. I was highly disappointed that this was not filmed in Nebraska. The real town of Valentine is so charming. Sadly, it was filmed in Ohio.

This movie was a breath of fresh air! Great story line, great acting! I will be watching this for years to come!
