    Horses, great scenery, and Andrew McCarthy - WOW!

    This one will definitely go in my repeat viewing collection!!! Andrew McCarthy has always been able to pull at your heartstrings, but he never looked better than he does as Tyler Ross, the cowboy, WOW!! You can't help but feel for his loss of his wife, but you so enjoy the "sparring" between him and Jordan (Teri Polo), and can't wait till they actually get it together and realize the love they have for each other. The scenery and horses were awesome and just added to the movie's ability so pull you in even without all the violence, etc. that are in movies today. I am so looking forward to Andrew's next movie knowing how great he looks these days.

    Great Movie!

    Never would have thought of Andrew McCarthy as a cowboy but WOW! As a lover of horses and a hopeless romantic, I couldn't help but rate this movie a definate 10! This is one of those movies that you could watch about a 100 times and never get tired of it. Wish there were more movies on TV like this...

    A Must See!

    What a wonderful movie and one that I would definitely recommend for anyone. It has won the spot in my heart for "My Favorite All Time Movie". The story was funny, heartwarming, and the acting was flawless. This is the type of movie that catches your attention and then you are spellbound for the rest of the movie. I hope they make a sequel, would love to see what happens next. Would also love to see more of Andrew McCarthy. I loved his performance (and I'm not one of the former Brat Pack fans). His performance in this film is his best yet - I would definitely recommend that viewers try to catch Andrew in his films as a mature man...you want be disappointed!

    This movie is the greatest - Kudos to Hallmark

    I've been divorced 37 yrs, am 71 & live in Florida. I've been corresponding via internet chat, email & phone with a man who is 69 & lives in Minnesota who lost his wife after 42 years of marriage. We had an immediate magnetic attraction we can't explain. However, we've never met because he is still deeply grieving the loss of his wife & can't let go. I've seen this movie four times and am buying the DVD. I cry every time I see it because it reminds me so much of my situation with my friend in Minnesota, horses and all. :-) I keep hoping that one day my friend will come to see he must let go the same as Tyler did in the movie. I also love the humor and the fact it is a decent and soooo very true movie. I don't often see a movie that has impacted me emotionally the way this movie his. Major Kudos to Hallmark.

    Absolutely wonderful

    It has been awhile since I have seen Andrew McCarthy in a movie, I saw this film on the Hallmark Channel a few weeks ago and fell in love with him, the chemistry between he and Teri Polo, or their characters, is so thrilling. I am a horse trainer, and rider, so it was just a wonderful movie for me, I loved the short, but sweet romance between them Andrew McCarthy is so mysterious, the way he walks, how he moves, just is so amazing to me. Iwish with all my heart I could one day meet him he will never know how this film effected me. Thank you all, the producers, the director, and casting director for choosing him, and for choosing Teri Polo, I taped it and now can watch it in my spare time. Thanks

    Edit
    • Trivia
      American Humane Association monitored the animal action. No animal was harmed in the making of this film. (AHA 00361)
    • Goofs
      The license plate on Tyler Ross's pickup is county 2, which is Laramie county, located in the south eastern corner of the state. Although the elevation of Cheyenne is over 6,000 feet there is no mountain range or landscape as depicted in the movie.
    • Quotes

      Laurie Woods: [in seeing Jordan for the first time with Tyler] It's gonna be just like a Danielle Steel novel.

    • Crazy credits
      In the end credits of the version of this film that plays on the cable channel PixL, the AHA certificate had apparently not yet been received when the credits were prepared, so the last credits screen lists the American Humane Association certificate as "(AHA ?????)" (with five red question marks in place of the certificate number.)

      The version that plays on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries cable channel, as well as the version released on DVD, has the proper certificate number listed (AHA 00361.)
