Summary: 4 Stars
"Montana sky", based on a novel of the same title written by Nora Roberts, is an entertaining movie that even those that have not read Robert's book will like.
The story begins with the funeral of Jack Mercy, a multimillionaire rancher that dies suddenly, leaving "Mercy ranch" to his three daughters, Willa (Ashley Williams), Tess (Charlotte Ross) and Lily (Laura Mennell). These three young women have different mothers and don't know each other, but will have to live together for a year as stipulated in Jack's will, if they don't want to lose their inheritance. Jack's interference doesn't end there: as autocratic in death as he was during his lifetime, he has left two overseers for a year, and one of them is Willa's hateful neighbour, Ben (John Corbett).
Willa, the only one of the sisters that lives and works in the ranch, along with her half-brother Adam (Nathaniel Arcand), resents her sisters' presence, and the fact that she now has to deal with Ben daily. But not everything is what it looks like, and sometimes what seems like bad luck can turn out to be for the better. When a dangerous stalker threatens them, Willa, Tess and Lily will need to trust each other, and the men around them, in order to survive.
Sounds interesting? Well, it is :) Truth to be told, I was somewhat afraid to watch this film, because I didn't think such a great novel could become a movie without losing the nuances that make it so good, but Mike Robe (the director) managed to avoid making an oversimplified version of "Montana sky". Even though this movie is quite different from the book, and despite the fact that several story lines have been omitted or modified, the spirit of the story is still there, and I believe you will enjoy it. That is the reason why I can recommended it to you...

PS: I wish the "In death" series (Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb) had movie versions, too. I guess we'll have to wait a little bit more for that to happen :(
PS 2: If you like this movie, I'm pretty sure that you will love the book on which it is based.
Movie Review: Montana Sky
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit that Montana Sky is my absolute favourite book by Nora Roberts, I have read it probably 20 times and was slightly apprehensive at buying it as we all know how badly books can be when brought to screen, and I like many other people 'cast' the roles in books and none of those chosen were in my thoughts. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised with the making, I think the film makers got most of the confusion and hurt across and the scenery was pretty spectacular in places, however and I do appreciate that stories have to be broken down and dismantled to fit the movies, I did find the change in Nate's storyline incredibly weird, and the speed at which the story was told was hurried making it hard to actually care about these characters, therefore it helped as obviously I do as I love this story. If you arent a Nora Roberts reader then this is a good tale, if you are then you have to leave it at the door and just enjoy the fact that they have chosen her books to be made in to films, saying that I think they made a much better job of this book than any of Danielle Steels adaptations.
Movie Review: It is what it is.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie actually had decent actors. I think that should be addressed first and foremost. Most of the time when a romance novel is turned into a movie who ever decides to put it on screen usually casts attractive people with limited acting ability.
That can no be said about this movie. The actors are pretty and seem to have acting capabilty. *gasp*
I was a bit disappointed that the movie strayed so much from the Nora Roberts novel, but I can pretty much seperate the two and see each has its own creative merits. Lifetime didn't screw this one up.
