My sisters friend had rented this movie and invited me to watch one day. I flat out was against watching this movie because I assumed it had nothing of interest for me. I had no idea who George Strait was, nor any care for country music. But I gave in and sat through it. This movie was a classic romance movie using country music and a small town as a backdrop. The main reason I am here writing a review is because this movie I heard opened doors for many people who had no care for the Country music genre but because of this movie are fans of country music, mostly George Strait as I have become. Its a simple movie. Great soundtrack. But a movie that opened my heart and ears into a new world.

A number of people said you have to like country to like this movie. I pretty much hate country, with a few exceptions, and liked it.I think a lot of it had to do with it's humor, and with the generally decent acting and dialog.I found some of the dialog quite clever for a country movie.I don't remember if I liked the music or not, probably not as I generally hate country. As I recall, it's a lot better than songs about sexy tractors though.And I think a lot of us can relate to concept of being burned out in our jobs.

I was Living in Terrell Tx when this movie was filmed at Don Gay's ranch (former PBR champ) on County rd 353 i believe. I watched the filming of this movie and every time it is on TV i watch it or at least flick back and forth. It is a good movie to watch when you need to clear your head because as he is reminiscing you do the same. I highly recommend this movie for anyone. The Story line in this movie is one of the best that i have seen it ties in friendship, and relationship and shows that no matter how bad things seem to be sometimes if you follow your roots you can rediscover who you really are and that is important these days. The whole family can watch this movie. It is not only worth watching but a worth wild add to your DVD collection

This movie was very enjoyable. I found the acting to be reasonable, the music great and the storyline believable. It held my attention for its entirety and watching it was a pleasure not a chore. I would definitely recommend it to country music lovers. The actors were credible in the roles and this movie contained no unpleasantness (eg unnecessary violence, swearing etc). This is a movie which could be enjoyed by all ages of viewer. It is a foot-tapping experience and was greatly entertaining. George Strait is an excellent country music singer and in this (his debut acting role) did a very good job. I would like to see any others he may have made since.
