Featured reviews
This movie plays like a romance novel-a good romance novel. Andrew McCarthy and Teri Polo have nice chemistry as the rancher and the city girl. They are believable in their well-acted roles. The supporting cast is very good, too. Patricia Kalember looks beautiful in her sympathetic role and it was great to see the wonderful J. Kenneth Campbell in the part of the grieving father. He was on "Matlock" as the unique character F.B.I. agent Ed Wingate, "I am the wind". This is a very enjoyable movie and I give it a nine.
This one will definitely go in my repeat viewing collection!!! Andrew McCarthy has always been able to pull at your heartstrings, but he never looked better than he does as Tyler Ross, the cowboy, WOW!! You can't help but feel for his loss of his wife, but you so enjoy the "sparring" between him and Jordan (Teri Polo), and can't wait till they actually get it together and realize the love they have for each other. The scenery and horses were awesome and just added to the movie's ability so pull you in even without all the violence, etc. that are in movies today. I am so looking forward to Andrew's next movie knowing how great he looks these days.
It has been awhile since I have seen Andrew McCarthy in a movie, I saw this film on the Hallmark Channel a few weeks ago and fell in love with him, the chemistry between he and Teri Polo, or their characters, is so thrilling. I am a horse trainer, and rider, so it was just a wonderful movie for me, I loved the short, but sweet romance between them Andrew McCarthy is so mysterious, the way he walks, how he moves, just is so amazing to me. Iwish with all my heart I could one day meet him he will never know how this film effected me. Thank you all, the producers, the director, and casting director for choosing him, and for choosing Teri Polo, I taped it and now can watch it in my spare time. Thanks
I have loved Andrew McCarthy since the 80's. He's always had a boyish charm that appeals to my inner teenager.
But, his portrayal of Tyler Ross, in Straight From The Heart, was a little disappointing. His actions seemed overly rehearsed and even a little forced. He just doesn't carry himself with that slow and easy cowboy grace that we've become accustomed to from watching such greats as Joyn Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. The script, as well, could have used some better writing, as the dialogue between the characters is often a little silly. Still, the movie can stand alone with it's familiar storyline, troubled hero, and happy ending.

What a wonderful movie and one that I would definitely recommend for anyone. It has won the spot in my heart for "My Favorite All Time Movie". The story was funny, heartwarming, and the acting was flawless. This is the type of movie that catches your attention and then you are spellbound for the rest of the movie. I hope they make a sequel, would love to see what happens next. Would also love to see more of Andrew McCarthy. I loved his performance (and I'm not one of the former Brat Pack fans). His performance in this film is his best yet - I would definitely recommend that viewers try to catch Andrew in his films as a mature man...you want be disappointed!

- Quotes
Laurie Woods: [in seeing Jordan for the first time with Tyler] It's gonna be just like a Danielle Steel novel.
- Crazy creditsIn the end credits of the version of this film that plays on the cable channel PixL, the AHA certificate had apparently not yet been received when the credits were prepared, so the last credits screen lists the American Humane Association certificate as "(AHA ?????)" (with five red question marks in place of the certificate number.)
The version that plays on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries cable channel, as well as the version released on DVD, has the proper certificate number listed (AHA 00361.)
