A Western movie involving a tragic love affair
genericgeneric220 February 2007
This film will delight all fans of the classic Western genre. The landscapes are breathtaking, and the sets are authentic. Being released around the same time as Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, this film adds to the revitalization of this wonderful genre known as the Western. Establishing camera angles that even Spielberg would be proud of, this film earns an A+ in cinematography. It is a huge disappointment that it was not nominated for an Oscar for this. Along with the excellent visual elements, the cast delivers an excellent performance. The daughter in the trio lacks the experience of the other two cast members, but the mother and the cowboy more than make up for her lack of acting experience.

Two cowgirls (a mother and daughter) play host to a cowboy on their dinner table.

What do you get when you combine two lonely cowgirls and a cowboy? The answer is cowpoke, a spunky ranch hand and a bunch of tissues. I loved this film. Fun times had by all. The beautiful scenery adds to the already intense emotional element of the film. The director deserves an Oscar for his brilliance in camera angles and actor direction. I can only imagine how he inspired his actors and actresses to embody the essence of their characters on screen. This film is a must see for all inspiring directors. If you identify yourself as a true artist and visionary, then seek out this film for true direction. Pay close attention to the first encounter involving all three of the main characters. It is easy to get lost in the subplot. The cowboy attempts to win the hearts of two women, only to find himself in a spicy love triangle between a mother and a daughter. The resolution to this conflict is unique and well-written. You won't be able to predict the outcome, let alone whom the cowboy chooses. But you don't have to take my word for it.

Cowboy Awesomeness
lizzysimonpauly3 March 2007
Cowboy awesomeness is how my boyfriend described this movie to me, and I have to say I agree. I thought it was going to be just another one of those cheesy Westerns, but I was very surprised how emotional the whole thing was. Out of the corner of my eye, I caught my boyfriend on the verge of tears during the end of the movie when the main characters collide in conflict. After watching the movie, I was inspired to put on a denim skirt and some boots and hit the town with my girlfriends. The acting between the three main characters is so powerful, it makes you just want to go out and grasp life by the horns, with a lasso that is! I'm off to check out some Eastwood movies.

Diamond's Best!!
geminisquirrelbank3 March 2007
This is by far Debi Diamond's best movie. Carol Cummings and Charlotte Leigh help support Diamond in this heart stopping performance. The chemistry between Diamond and Marc Wallace is so real. Every scene with their two characters is so genuine! When Wallace interacts with Ray Victory and Sean King, you can tell each of these guys have such ego complexes. Lastly, Tome Byron and Lauren Brice attempt to get that Oscar, but they so need more acting experience. But, as mentioned earlier, this all star cast, led by Diamond and Wallace really take you the audience member right into the movie to make you feel like you are really there. I so recommend this movie to everyone!

Best Western of All Time!!!
charlesgreenbulk26 February 2007
Warning: Spoilers
It's been a while since I've seen an awesome Western, but this movie made me remember how much I loved them. The movie starts out following a cowboy that is walking alone in the desert down a desert road. His truck had broken down, and he apologizes to himself for not being a true cowboy and using a horse instead. This opening scene may sound simple, but it really gets you thinking. It plays well into the irony, you know. Next, he encounters a farm that, again ironic, is not run by a man, but rather is run by a woman. The woman teaches the cowboy a thing or two about being a real ranch hand. While learning from the woman, the cowboy begins to fall in love with her. Conflict hits the fan as the cowboy begins to fall in love with the woman's daughter as well.
