I loved this movie! Best one I've seen in a while. Emmanuelle is one of my favorites, she is so natural and down to earth. I hope they make a sequel, please!! I loved her in that movie with Luke Perry, love in paradise. Too bad he is no longer with us. Hope to see more of her! Would like to see less of Taylor Cole! I thought everyone did a great job in this movie. Kavan Smith also did a good job. A movie like this relaxes you with the beautiful scenery and the horses. It's a beautiful rural hometown movie and gives her a second chance at love. It's great that it focuses on family and love and not money and luxury.

I've read several of Linda Lael Miller's books and had high hopes for this one. If Vaugier had been able to show the same depth of emotion in her scenes with Smith as she did with her step-daughter, or the two sons of Smith's character, I'd have added a couple more stars. When Vaugier and Smith are alone in the scene, she's not doing much more than reciting lines. Not so with the child actors, who do quite well in this tale, especially their scenes with Vaugier, so I suspect there was something going on there between the actors. There's enough general conflict and tension to keep up the pace. The scenery could have been developed a bit more, but other than that slight nit-picky comment, the production values are good.

I have mixed feelings about this film...but I want to start by saying I loved the lead actors and their supporting cast...I also loved the setting (fake Montana) and I appreciated that they had the big city New Yorker be a great horse rider who dresses appropriately and isn't afraid of animals or hard work (aka fits in), instead of going the fish out of water trope. My difficulties lie in the story content itself... For me hallmark movies are entertainment not "real life", I have enough of real life in the real world...I watch hallmark to escape all of that. Which is why I am not sure that I appreciate Hallmark's attempt to make the story more "life like" by adding all the baggage. It's either that or trying to normalize bitter divorces and traumatized kids. If we could choose what we wanted...who would choose to go through a bitter divorce and have traumatized children running away and screaming out for love and attention. We get to choose the movies that we watch and I think Hallmark is making a mistake going this route. I am not in denial that 50% of marriages are ending in divorce these days...but if you are going through a messy divorce is this what you are going to want to watch? Or would you prefer the fairytale where for a couple of hours you can fantasize that peoples' dreams really come true? Also...has everyone just thrown in the towel and accepted that 50% of marriages end in divorce? How about movies that show people fighting for their marriages and doing the hard work that it takes to stay married for a lifetime? Now that would be some real life entertainment that people really need and could use. Ok, stepping off the soapbox and getting back to this film...Vancouver, B. C. native Emmanuelle Vaugier who played the female lead was fantastic. She is lovely and did a solid acting job. Kavan Smith who played the male romantic lead also put in a solid performance. To be honest, I am not sure I really felt the chemistry between these two...but they are both such good actors you really didn't notice (the last kiss with the hat removal was probably the biggest tell in the whole film). I understand that the source material is a Linda Lael Miller book which had the two not getting along initially, it's kind of too bad they didn't go that route because I love a good hate to love romance...but I understand with all the baggage that they had to deal with in the film why they went this route instead. Also, I am really starting to feel sorry for Peter Benson (another solid Hallmark actor), he has been having to play a less than white knight lately and is probably itching to be more hero than anti-hero. One of the sadder hallmark offerings due to the subject matter...but it is in a gorgeous setting. If you like kids and divorcee/widower romances this might be the film for you.

A solid, realistic story with great acting, and believable chemistry between the leads. Predictable ending but an enjoyable watch! Wish Hallmark didn't add in the awkward dance scene. These seem to be written into every Hallmark movie and this one, like most of those in other Hallmark movies, includes dancing that seems out of step with the background music and just uncomfortable to watch.

I watched this movie because I loved the lead actress Emmanuelle Vaugier in Hallmark's wonderful Love in Paradise movie with the recently departed Luke Perry. She's quite beautiful but she's also great at playing a strong female character. And, as another reviewer noted, she knows how to ride a horse (and get dirty on a ranch). In fact, she's been riding since 2010 and once placed third in a Burbank horse show competition. I was surprised, and pleased, not to see the NYC city girl "fish out of water" trope overplayed. And yet Tara did need some help from time to time, which helped fuel her attraction to Boone (played by the dependable Hallmark vet Kavan Smith). The love story was fine, but I was really fascinated by the rather unique situation of her relationship with her stepdaughter (played convincingly by Hallmark child actress vet Cassidy Nugent). Hallmark has been more and more willing to get "real" with their story lines. The lazy default was often a romance between an unmarried character who had never found "the right one" and someone whose spouse had died or conveniently disappeared. That's the not the real world for most 30-50 year olds (the average age range for Hallmark leads). With nearly half of all marriages ending in divorce (even worse rates for 2nd and 3rd marriages), most dating options in that age group come with divorce baggage. And that baggage is a little different in this movie, which Hallmark developed from a book by #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller (actually Book 3 in the Parable series for those wanting more). There's a few significant changes by writer J. B. White, who did an AWFUL job with Road Trip Romance, and this much better movie almost makes up for that truly awful movie (as a Hallmark movie junkie, I rarely trash a Hallmark movie, but yeeech!) In the Miller book, Erin was a twin, Boone lived in a trailer, his kids lived with his sister after his wife died, Tara actually bought her place and moved there to be a chicken farmer, and they did not get along at all after they first met). I like the changes. But the key detail in the movie that fascinated me was that Tara, though not her biological mother, was the only mother that Erin had ever really known during her 13 years. The divorce would have been a major emotional upheaval in her life and, a year later, as her father had moved on with someone else, she was feeling some understandable angst, confusion and resentment. The movie does a good job helping the audience feel her dread at the fact that her "Mom" would leave for the entire summer while she was forced to suddenly spend time with (and unwillingly accept) a new woman in her father's life (and with whom she had no connection). In hindsight, it would have been a good idea for Tara to have legally adopted Erin but, not having done so, she had no legal rights over Erin despite what appears to be a decade of "motherhood" and the bonds that obviously grew between them. It was actually quite heartbreaking. And the movie, admirably, doesn't provide easy answers. Peter Benson is probably the best go to guy for the "wrong" boyfriend/husband role. I just watched him be really annoying ("go for Brad") in Falling For Vermont, a warm, comforting blanket of a movie which I've now seen for maybe the 6th time. His character here (James) borders on self absorbed caricature, but they pull him back a bit, though not much. It might be time to throw Benson a bone and give him a role where he gets the girl. There's also some nice drone shots and some cool tracking shots during the barbecue. And the child actors playing Boone's sons are solid, as is the rest of the cast. This is definitely a top tier Hallmark movie, and I always grade Hallmark on a curve (which is how this and Casablanca, a far better movie, both get 10s). Bring back Emmanuelle Vaugier ASAP!

The reviewer above is incorrect. Perhaps if they'd listened carefully, and/or waited longer than 2 minutes before reviewing, the viewer would have discovered that the child in question is not the biological daughter of the main character; she's from his previous marriage.

I truly enjoyed this movie. It moved fluidly and the stars did a fine job bringing the movie to life. This is one of Hallmark's best movies. My only comment was with Kavan Smith's horseback ride. Cowboys don't post in the saddle. Emmanuelle Vaugier really knows how to ride. It was a treat to have female stars that didn't squeal like teenage girls the way they do in so many Hallmark Movies. It was a pleasure to watch this movie and have mature actors. The children in the movie were also quite good. All in all with the beautiful setting the music and the actors and actresses it was a satisfying entry.

8.0 stars. Tara (Vaugier) is the glue that holds two families together, she's a step mother to a 13 year old girl who never knew her real mother, and she is also the father that her real dad never measures up to. She's will eventually be the perfect wife and new mother to a sheriff cowboy named Boone and his two boys. There are a lot of damaged hearts, including her own, and she will find the passion within herself to bring healing to everyone. Much depends on the performance of Vaugier and she does a satisfying job, not stupendous, but good enough for me to love "Big Sky River". Once the step daughter is fully in the picture and Tara begins to grow closer to Boone and his boys, this movie takes on a whole new life full of promise, trust, and love. This is a must see, it's wonderful, well balanced, not spectacular in any particular sense, but satisfying in every way.
