Finding Love in Big Sky, Montana

Two overused premises. Paisley needs to save the ranch she inherited from beloved grandpa. Josh flees LA to lay low while scandal threatens his job. The two old flames reunite and what do they do? Well lets just say it's the same thing they do in similar circumstances in hundreds of these movies. Beyond that, there isn't much story and certainly no highs or lows. As for a predictable conflict, when the phone rang just before the last commercial I said to myself, No. Please don't use that plot device Again.

The acting is fair. There's little chemistry. The dialogue is just OK. I kind of liked Hedy Nasser for her cute sweetness, but that also sapped some of the intended strong woman vibe.

It's supposed to be a bad thing to use an "info dump" especially in a movie. My thoughts were - good, let's get all that over and settled. But then the story dragged anyway. And the voice is that opening narration was slightly grating.

There is some nice scenery but there is only so much appeal to looking at snowcapped mountains on the horizon with a bright blue sky.

It isn't really that this movie has anything great wrong with it. The problem is that it is just totally bland with the same story lines as so many other movies.

The story was okay. The pretty actress, while her acting was okay, had an emotionless voice, monotone, no feeling. There was no personality to speak of. The story starts with her narrating. There was no chemistry between the two leads.

The basic story was similar to many others, but the scenery was nice. I gave it a 6. No misunderstandings or big conflict, which was fine. Just nothing worth watching again.

I have to write 600 characters for this review to be published. So, hmm, did I say it was boring?

There were horses, trail riding, kids.

No empty coffee cups that I remember. I don't remember seeing any of the actors before.

There was money needed, and a loan was applied for. It was an extreme amount, which I thought was unlikely to be approved. And there was subsequent fundraising which of course came no where close to the large amount of money requested.

There were two couples who found romance.

I appears that we will be seeing fewer reviews here. I enjoy the short reviews, and rarely read a long one all the way through. If you got this far, you know I am trying to fill a character quota. Omg.

I wanted to like this movie. Horses, Big Sky country, horses -- it had great potential. Disappointedly, the "star" who plays Paisley was flat, unemotional, and acted like this was her first acting gig, which ruined the show for me. The scene with her tryingvto split wood was laughable. No way she was coached to rest an axe on her shoulder and swing from there. Stoddard was okay as leading man but marginally so. Honestly, Nathan Kehn would have been a Much better choice. The audio was muddy, voices hard to understand unless turned very loud, background noises too pronounced. As a native Montanan, I found it hard to believe ranchers using seat belts. Really? Too bad, this could have been a nice rom-com.

A good movie about lost love, family, friends and unified support.

Finding Love in Big Sky Montana is not a western or cowboy movie. It's a calming subtle capture of true living values that allow or towns to be remain communities and decent places to build homes.

This film could be an excellent addition to a fall and winter holidays lineup as well.

Family Perfect is the rating for this movie as it contains no sensitivities such as violence, fouls language, S, D, or smoking.

So gather around the fire or get warm blanket on cold wet day with a warm beverage and put your remote away and and enjoy this movie with everyone.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting much from this movie. I'm not a huge fan of western movies and it looked boring. So it took me a few weeks after I recorded it to watch it. Then one day I needed to delete some movies, I decided to watch the first 5 minutes of it before deleting it.

I was surprised - pleasantly. I ended up watching it to the end! I thought the two lead actors gave decent performances. I liked the diverse cast. I thought the story was heartwarming.

But I think the ending was a little bit weak. There were a couple of loose ends that could have been addressed. Despite these unresolved subplots, I still thought this movie was good enough for at least a one-time viewing.
