Ridiculous. Opening shots of the City of Austin, then a cut to a huge mountainous backdrop of their central "Texas" ranch (which is obviously set in California--unless I've missed seeing that mountain for the past 40 years that I've lived in Austin). Two blue-eyed parents with a brown-eyed kid--genetically impossible. Yes, casting agents, people notice these kinds of things and it makes films even less believable. The leading lady wearing cowboy boots to ride a horse in Texas-with an English riding saddle. A meal of enchiladas (Tex-Mex) paired with dirty rice (Cajun). Hint--no one here does that. A supposedly sophisticated now-New Yorker who shows up to court without a lawyer--(oh, but wait-later her NY attorney flies to Texas to represent her, apparently with a magical license to practice in Texas). The lead, supposedly raised in Texas, soooo worried about her ~10 year old daughter being around animals like piglets and horses because "she could get hurt," since she's "a city kid." Giant eye-roll from me. Did anyone on this film do their homework first?????

Ridiculous
Seems Like Old Times
Elisa Donovan and her on screen daughter live in New York where she is a high-powered executive with an important deal on. However, when her husband, from whom she is separated, sues for shared custody, she has to fly back to Texas to deal with the legal technicalities.
This perfectly ordinary and by-the-numbers romantic comedy, is considerably enlivened by a fine cast of long-time professionals, who manage to keep things bubbling along nicely. Cinematographer Kobi Zaig-Mendez consistently finds beautiful ways to shoot the frame, not only the people, but the backgrounds.
Although nothing in this movie will surprise you as novel and brilliant, there is more than enough in this to keep the watcher occupied.
Wish I knew the music
I wish that I could find out where I can get the songs in this movie. The music is truly amazing! I love country music especially like in this movie. This is one amazing country movie and it's for all ages. I rate this 9 out 10, because it's just plain amazing. If you want to teach children about importance of love and marriage show them this movie, it got amazing lessons. It is Christian movie but doesn't push Christian values too much. And girls who loves horses, will love this movie. I would've chosen a different actor for Darren, maybe even a country singer like Garth Brooks. I am in hope that maybe there is a soundtrack or at least someone can tell me what are the songs. =D
