Emma (Sally Field) is a newly divorced mother with a son Jake (an unrecognizable Corey Haim). She moves to a small town in the midwest and tries to open a horse ranch. There she meets 60 year old Murphy (James Garner) who helps her. Despite their age difference they start to have feelings for each other. Then her no-good ex (Brian Kerwin) pops up and wants her back.
Thoroughly predictable. You know how this is going to end from frame 1. Still it's well-done and I was entertained. Garner and Field are great in their roles. In fact Garner was nominated for an Academy Award for this, Kerwin is good as her good for nothing ex. Haim is barely in this. This was pretty much ignored by audiences and dismissed by critics but it's very OK.
