Movie Review: ROMANCE REVIEW FROM A GUY--AN OLD GUY
Summary: 5 Stars
STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART is a romance. The DVD cover photo tells you that. It's a horse movie, the cover tell you that too. So it's predictable. The good looking gal will get the handsome cowboy in the end. And they'll be riding horses, and there will be wild horses, and beautiful western country. The predictability merits only 4-stars.
A man gets information sent to a match-making company by someone else.
A woman has the same thing happen to her, via a friend.
The two queries get matched and presto-change-o; Bob's your uncle.
At first they seem opposites......then......predictable.
Done well but still only 4-stars worth.
BUT THEN:
The story keeps moving and offers some good moments throughout, accomplished through dialogue between 2 characters sharing in settings from a corral, or a country church, to a NYC flat, and the open range. Hallmark Entertainment makes sure what you see is pleasingly enjoyable.
Next, the proposal, you just know eventually will come from the cowboy, Tyler Ross (Andrew McCarthy), arrives in an uncharacteristic way, very UNpredictable. Of course Jordan, city gal (Teri Polo) accepts, again predictable. But: Then at the finale, the friend, Carla, ends the film's dialogue with a great line.
Hallmark's excellence and the ending shoots this predictable romance to 5-star good. So guys, sit back with some good spicy beef jerky, put your arm around your gal, and enjoy the romantic ride.
Movie Review: A Love Story with a Happy Ending
Summary: 5 Stars
We have owned this DVD for several months now and watched it again on Mother's Day sort of as a gift to mom. I might add, not only did she love it, so did we all!
The story involves two unhappy people living two entirely different lifestyles who have those who care about them wanting to help fix their lives. In both cases the well-meaning relative/friend decides to either place or answer an ad in a magazine for those seeking a spouse. This is done without the two unhappy people even knowing anything was afoot.
It all works out that the girl, a New Yorker, is persuaded to journey to Wyoming to meet the boy, a rancher, mostly to satisfy the friend.
What happens then is the core of the story and easily holds one's attention; there is misunderstanding, conflict, surprises, and joy; the scenery is majestic and contributes to the joy of simply watching the story unfold.
The rancher is still suffering the loss of his wife who died at the birth of their child and is very busy blaming himself for what happened. It so happens that the rancher is skilled as a horse-whisperer and trains horses using this technique; there are many scenes of horses running against magnificent backgrounds as well as a "joining-up" scene where a wild horse finally accepts the horse-whisperer.
By way of summary, the movie is captivating and persuasive; it provides a nice evening's entertainment! I recommend it highly.
Movie Review: Warm and fuzzy
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this film as many times as I could when it was airing on the Hallmark Channel so I decided I wanted to purchase it. The emotions were well-depicted, not maudlin or overplayed. Jordan's relationship with Edward is going nowhere, so her friend Carla answers an ad supposedly placed by a rancher in Wyoming. When Jordan arrives for a visit, it is evident that Tyler does not want her there. As the story unfolds, so do the emotions of each of them. Tyler agonizes over the loss of his wife and daughter, and Jordan realizes she has developed very deep feelings for Tyler. Edward finds Jordan, finally asks her to marry him, and she returns to New York. At last, Jordan comes to her senses and tells Edward she cannot marry him - because she would always be waiting for time when he would decide he did not want to be married.(Hooray! Actually I really would like to have been able to give Edward "one upside the head" for being so self-centered. He made a good "bad guy".) The ending, predictable enough, is sweet. It's a good "feel-good" film for a brief escape and some popcorn.
Movie Review: Straight from the Heart
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this Hallmark movie in 2007 on TV. And for me to watch anything and wait through the TV commercials is almost unheard of.
Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy were excellent. The scenery in Wyoming was typically Hallmark beautiful. The story was great (almost a 'mail order bride') story. Two people coming from very different parts of the country and with very different backrounds, trying to be 'matched up' by their own friends, not themselves, made for a great story. I haven't seen Andrew McCarthy in years. He looks better in this film than I've ever seen him before. And, as with most Hallmark films there is no violence that I wouldn't have a 5 year old watch.
I bought this DVD because I loved the movie, and don't have to see the commercials anymore.
Movie Review: A GOOD OLD COWBOY ROMANCE. LOVED IT!
Summary: 5 Stars
Want an authentic cowboy romance? Then STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART is just the movie for you. A heartwarming story that will win your heart and make you wish you could pick up and move to a ranch in Wyoming.
Yee haw!
Both Andrew McCarthy and Teri Polo did an amazing job in their roles, giving you the impression that Andrew was a true cowboy and Terri a woman from the big city.
When it comes to romance and healing of the heart, all things are possible in this cute story.
If every there were a perfect ending, STRAIGH FROM THE HEART has it. It will make your heart swell and your eyes tear as two different world collide, yet in the end, love prevails.
