Everything was wooden. Storyline was good but there was no chemistry among any of the actors. The horses and scenery were the best parts of the movie.

Plot summary
When her mother dies tragically in a car accident, 17-year-old Jessie is taken in by her aunt and uncle in western Montana. At her new school she gets unexpected attention from a cocky bull rider and aches with the impossible need to hold onto her one connection to her mother: barrel racing. Doing anything she can to be around horses, Jessie doesn't give up on her dream despite not having her own horse. But when Uncle Mick finds a deal on a cutting horse that's been deemed useless, Jessie finds new hope in life, and her longed-for chance at barrel racing.

Ugh...awful acting
this will be stark
Even if you are the greatest barrel rider in the world, there is no career in it...its just a childhood hobby ... if your mom was good at it, remember her for that but move on to your own life and preserve your mom in your heart ... your mom gave you direction and purpose, use it to maximum advantage.
Cannot fault the subject matter, HOWEVER
Everything else about it pretty much sucked.
Cannot go too far wrong with the MAJESTIC NATURE OF HORSES. They showcased some MAGNIFICENT creatures in the few minutes that I tried to enjoy this film.
And, as my subject states, do not want to slight the subject matter, not one iota.
Beyond that, it utterly falls flat on its face. The actors delivery is wooden, if mechanical, the cues, well, they are missed, to a scene, to an actor, to a dialog. Not sure if it was a directing issue, or a post-production thing, could they have cut it any differently to help with that, I don't know. Just couldn't get into it because of this, the dialog kept stumbling over itself in spite of itself.
Too bad. Maybe better work next time I suppose.
