From the poster, this looks like a great feel-good cowboy movie. The story is cliché but it's not meant to be groundbreaking so I don't mind.
What I do mind is the bitchy fake female lead character. She just seemed so superficial and know-it-all, it's really annoying. Christopher Russell is cut out for the cowboy role and really delivers but Stephanie Bennet is a trainwreck in this one. In this movie, she just comes across as the bitchy popular cheerleader who gets a kick out of embarrassing the nerd in front of the whole school. Either she was the wrong actress for the role or the scriptwriters just wrote a bad character.
The rest of the cast is great and have the right charm for the role but with such an underwhelming lead, the supporting cast, fun storyline, and beautiful scenery just can't salvage the movie. I'm quite alright with the shallow nature of these Hallmark-type tv romance movies, I find it easy to watch but this one is a major let down.

Lots of potential but the female lead ruined it
Romance + Cowboy Hats + Horses
Whats not to love about this film? Ok it can be a bit cheesy or sappy at times but what rom-com hasn't? If you love westerns, Cowboy Hats, Horses, and a nice unplanned romance then this film ticks all the right boxes. Listen it's not "The Godfather" or "Serpico" and it's definitely not Lonesome Dove but what movie is? So if you're in the mood to have some popcorn and cuddle with your special someone while enjoying a good (not great) rom-com then this will punch your ticket. Besides guys it's about time you let her pick the movie, wait did I just say what I thought I said? Yep too lazy to erase what I wrote and write something meaningful for once lol.
Surprise
This movie was enough different from the formulas to be fun. Still no great highs or lows or surprises, but it made up for that with fun.
The NYC slickers made fun of the stereotype. Throw in some silly karaoke and dancing.
But there were less frivolous romantic moments too. Stephanie Bennet and Christopher Russell had some quiet chemistry.
Another effort to be a little off formula, that moment before the climax where you expect overhearing something which creates a misunderstanding wasn't exactly a misunderstanding. Nothing lame, but real.
