The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I enjoy Andrew McCarthy, and he has aged fabulously, but this movie made me cringe nearly the entire time I was watching it-- and I'm a romance buff who has seen and read a lot of pretty saccharine stuff! While one wants to feel sympathy for his character and the troubles he has been through, the tired, trite stoicism makes it difficult to care, and the reactions and lines of some of the supporting characters-- Edward, Laurie, etc.-- are also stock sugar, predictable to the very end.The conflicts of the movie are sparing at best and ill-resolved, and there's a continued attempt at some sort of suspense that falls horribly flat as it falters toward the end. The backdrop of this movie is beautiful, and Andrew McCarthy has never looked better, but on the whole, the storyline and its boring, yawning turns were not up to par.

This is the kind of movie that makes you remember your childhood, when movies did not have to contain sex, violence and cursing. I am an action loving, shoot & kill movie fan. Every once in awhile, I need a movie like this one in order to make me realize that there is love and tenderness in the world. The two lead characters, Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy, did a wonderful job playing their roles. The direction was good. The photography was EXCELLENT. The horses were GORGEOUS! Yes, I am a horse lover! I had no idea, prior to seeing the move, that the screenplay is mostly about horses. Some rainy or snowy day, when you are forced to stay inside, find a good friend and watch this movie together.

The best movie I have seen in a long time.The beautiful landscaping was breath taking.The love that you are able to show in the movie is so heart felt. The scenes and perfect imaging of the horses will forever stay with me.The deep spiritual message that is given goes beyond words.The life struggle that people today face are shown with an angelic light shining on every outcome. My tears cleansed my face as I watched with unspoken words.Mr. Larry Levinson , I will watch every movie you produce because of the Divine Love. You are a gift from GOD! Be Blessed

You should see the movie to feel the real passion.It is really amazing how two people who seem to have so few in common make a perfect couple in this film as they are in real life.Sometimes a simple single people add may bring you the love of your life. Jordan considered this trip really crazy as she was in a relation with Edward but her friend believed this could be a good chance to find her soul mate.At first the only thing they seem to have in common is dislike. But after learning about the first wife who died in childbirth, Jordan begins to see Tyler in a different light.
