Romance on the Ranch

I love this movie. The characters are great. I love that there is no swearing, or s3x scenes. A wonderful close family. A sweet romance. I tis perfect, I watch it over and over. I wish they would say what state she ended up in. I am so happy she chose who she did. And I love the beautiful location and I love the story line. They need more ranch romance shows.

Personally, I really enjoyed watching this one. As a guy in his 60s, for whatever reason, this one was easy to watch for me. I found it not too cheesy, good, although simple, plot. The young girl was a hit, for sure. The characters were relatable. The lead actress could have been more energetic but I thought she did a great job. This movie is in the hallmark genre but I much prefer these that come from candlelight studios. The two brothers had some obvious conflict with one pulling their weight and being responsible and the younger one not so much but I liked how they resolved their conflict without things getting nasty and out of hand.

This movie wasn't the worst movie. It was watchable and I'm a sucker for a love triangle especially with two handsome brothers. But it's the bad acting and lack of passion that made it a not so great movie. With a better main character that can actually act and more passion and depth this movie could have actually been really good. I only enjoyed it so much for obvious reasons.. Attractive characters and an okay plot even if it was predictable.. But that's about it, I watch a lot of hallmark movies and this is kind of in that category. Just a movie to watch nothing to pass time. Nothing special.

Suzanne Pereira is Sara, living in Chicago and working as an OR nurse. As the movie opens her sister is getting married, it turns out to her former boyfriend. To get a fresh start she decides to take a job as an OR nurse in Las Vegas.

On the way, with her dog and pulling a mobile home, her truck breaks down in Utah. There she meets Chris Reid as single dad Aidan Anderson who stops and offers help. She ends up parking her mobile home on his 1000-acre ranch until her truck is repaired in a week or so.

But Aiden has a brother on the ranch, Brando White as Porter Anderson, who is immediately taken with Sara and part of the story is a mild competition of sorts between the two brothers. Plus Aiden has a really smart and cute daughter of about 10 or 11 that bonds quickly with Sara.

It is a cute movie with a mild faith theme thrown in. The actors are beautiful, the scenery is beautiful, my wife and I enjoyed the movie. At home, streaming on Prime.

The film didn't make any impact, but it was watchable. This film follows the familiar ranch setting trope: a handsome man with a child whose mother is absent (in this case, she left). The title and poster give away the entire plot. Right from the start, it's clear the story going to revolve around a love triangle on the ranch between two men and a woman. The only surprise is that the men are brothers, but beyond that, the story adds nothing new. While the cinematography is good, capturing beautiful visuals, the storyline is too predictable, and the emotions fall flat for a film labeled as a romance.
