Straight from the Heart

This movie plays like a romance novel-a good romance novel. Andrew McCarthy and Teri Polo have nice chemistry as the rancher and the city girl. They are believable in their well-acted roles. The supporting cast is very good, too. Patricia Kalember looks beautiful in her sympathetic role and it was great to see the wonderful J. Kenneth Campbell in the part of the grieving father. He was on "Matlock" as the unique character F.B.I. agent Ed Wingate, "I am the wind". This is a very enjoyable movie and I give it a nine.

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!

I have to agree-Andrew has aged extremely well. I have a "thing" for cowboys and Andrew stepped right into my heart with this one. Wow! I have always liked his movies but this one "straight from the heart" sort of grabbed me (ya know?). Made me want to be younger and live in Wyoming. What a sap! I'm really looking forward to the next one. Just can't say enough good stuff about this film.

For those of you who are fans of the romance novel, this story will be every bit as predictable and even more enjoyable that those written in books. The story line is a bit contrived, but I couldn't help falling in love with the characters. Teri Polo is great as the outcast New Yorker in the middle of the Wyoming wilderness and Andrew McArthy has NEVER looked better than as the widowed rancher reluctant for love. A definite chick flick! Great payoff at the end... Ladies, tell me how great Andrew McArthy has aged... Dear Lord!

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.
