Autumn Stables

I'm not a huge fan of Cindy Busby but she did okay in this one. She seemed very relaxed in her role compared to others she has done. Kevin McGarry always does a great job with his parts and I enjoy anything he is in. It contains beautiful ranch/pastoral scenery. One negative critique would be the choice of using Western saddles when riding English style and directing someone to mount a horse on the right instead of the left. Someone who owns a horse ranch and teaches riding lessons should be much better versed in such matters. This may seem picky but it would be helpful to have a professional equestrian helping to consult on such matters where horses play such a huge role in the story.

LOVED BOTH CINDY AND KEVIN IN THIS MOVIE. THEIR CHARACTERS HAD CHEMISTRY. GREAT LOVE STORY OF A WIDOW WHO SELLS HER RANCH UNDER PRICE TO A PERSON WHO SAYS HE WOULD NOT CHANGE IT, BUT THEN PLANS TO DO SO. ENDING IS WONDERFUL! SO ROMANTIC! (AS ONLY KEVIN CAN PULL OFF!)

Not sure which was the main attraction here - the character leads or the picturesque setting. Nothing offensive here, but neither was there any humour or excitement.

It was great to see Ashley from Heartland in a movie again. However, I am going to review Autumn Stables, not compare it to Heartland.... Beautiful ranch where this was filmed! My family absolutely enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to others. It's a very good, clean, wholesome, family friendly movie. James Welch Henderson Arkansas 1/8/2021

Up Front. Definitely not a Cindy Busby fan, and this is not her worst movie ( that was definitely Marrying Darcy). But for some reason (maybe because her "acting" gets in the way), there is never any real chemistry between her and her co-star/s. This can ruin, or even destroy any believability in a story, or the character she plays- (the same character...always the same). It seems the bigger the role, the screechier the voice and the more unreal "acting" we see on screen. This one was kept subdued, so McGarry and supporting characters carried the weight.

I gave this a seven, as the Director with McGarry as lead kept this one on track. The story stayed on it's predictable path, but well. The scenery and horses were beautiful. All the supporting cast were good in their rolls. The movie definitely had much more potential, but it wasn't that bad.
