Romance on the Ranch

This movie wasn't the worst movie. It was watchable and I'm a sucker for a love triangle especially with two handsome brothers. But it's the bad acting and lack of passion that made it a not so great movie. With a better main character that can actually act and more passion and depth this movie could have actually been really good. I only enjoyed it so much for obvious reasons.. Attractive characters and an okay plot even if it was predictable.. But that's about it, I watch a lot of hallmark movies and this is kind of in that category. Just a movie to watch nothing to pass time. Nothing special.

The film didn't make any impact, but it was watchable. This film follows the familiar ranch setting trope: a handsome man with a child whose mother is absent (in this case, she left). The title and poster give away the entire plot. Right from the start, it's clear the story going to revolve around a love triangle on the ranch between two men and a woman. The only surprise is that the men are brothers, but beyond that, the story adds nothing new. While the cinematography is good, capturing beautiful visuals, the storyline is too predictable, and the emotions fall flat for a film labeled as a romance.

Unfortunately the main actress let the movie down. Her acting was immature and she was clearly overwhelmed and totally too self aware.

The 2 brothers did a great job keeping the movie interesting and they added some depth. And of course they are both a sight for sore eyes. The father also did well as the patriarch of the family.

The star of the movie is Aiden's daughter Samantha. She is a delight to watch and is clearly a natural born actress.

The story line is a bit thin which is why the quality of the acting had to be great to make it worth while.

Sadly the awkward nose-blowing sounds the main actress was constantly making was very off putting.

The only reason I could endure to the end was because of the 2 brothers. If not for them I would rate it a 5.

The dead Dad in the photo was an excellent actor and should have been in the credits! This was a classic Hallmark style movie and is perfect for people who enjoy that style. If not, then maybe it's not for you, but I thought it was fun, cheesy, and enjoyable. Again, the actor who was the Dad was top tier and really should have been mentioned in the credits, especially since some random background actor who had barely any screen time were mentioned. Any way, it was an overall good movie and perfect for people who love a sappy romance with happy endings and funny dialogue. What a great movie and great dead Dad!

Personally, I really enjoyed watching this one. As a guy in his 60s, for whatever reason, this one was easy to watch for me. I found it not too cheesy, good, although simple, plot. The young girl was a hit, for sure. The characters were relatable. The lead actress could have been more energetic but I thought she did a great job. This movie is in the hallmark genre but I much prefer these that come from candlelight studios. The two brothers had some obvious conflict with one pulling their weight and being responsible and the younger one not so much but I liked how they resolved their conflict without things getting nasty and out of hand.
