    So Fun!

    I heard the writer of this film call it a romantic comedy western and I wholeheartedly agree. It has all the clever funny lines, lovable characters, and silly moments of a rom com while mixing in the gun fights, horses, and other elements of the wild west.

    There were a lot of wonderful things about this film from the costumes, lines, and sets, but the two greatest parts were the story and characters.

    I would be surprised if you watch this one and do not walk away With a list of new characters you will forever treasure. Our main couple is so likable and down to earth that I was rooting my heart out for them. Lucy was so well fleshed out with her husband that I could have watched an entire film about her. From Katie's dad to each gunfighter who came to fight our main man, to Wilson and the church people, every character was truly memorable. I honestly can't wait to revisit them again!

    The story is so fun to ride along with. It's easygoing, funny, sweet, even almost poignant at times. Honestly, if you are looking for a new favorite hidden gem to add to your list, this is the one!

    Looks awful

    After reading bad reviews, thought I'd quickly skim through it before watching it all. No matter what scene you stop at, it is very apparent the script is bad, the acting is bad and the filming is poor.

    Romantic Comedy Western

    True independent film that mixes genre. Entertaining and a throw back to the westerns of the 1950's. Well developed characters that change over time. Satisfying story closure by the end.

    Trapped by a reputation you didn't earn?

    Many humorous moments in this one!

    Tate can't even walk down the street without being challenged.

    Operatic horseback riding?

    A wonderful twist at the end serves to get Tate and Katy out of this mess!

    All in one

    Poor filming, ugly people, unprofessional acting. All bad things happen in this movie. Watch it u will admire other movies you ever watched.
