John William 'Will' Cooper is a modern-day rancher, maintaining his ranch in hard times along with his friend and foreman Amos Russell. When Will's estranged daughter Jake returns to the ranch for her grandfather's funeral, father and daughter clash over how to run the ranch and over the death years before of Jake's mother, which she blames on Will. Crisis comes in the form of insurmountable debt, and it is only by working together that Will and Jake have any chance of saving their home and their family.

magnusfredberg A great film about how the relationship between daughter and father were poor and when the daughter of Jake comes home at mother's death ..On how to solve the problem of the legacy you see how hard her father worked to get the farm to pay off .. Even the foreman on the farm helping with mediation and how all three struggling and Jake finally find a solution to the problem ..A deep interesting film that does not fall into the usual mundane pattern .... A masterpiece without Jennie Garth fantastic acting had been hard to get it to fit so perfectly ..I really hope you make an effort to se this fantastic Movie..
Xjayhawker A lot of people that have never stepped foot outside a city will not appreciate the openness of the outdoors country life..you have to be there and see it..but this comes pretty close..a man estranged from his daughter since his wife died 8 years ago re-unites with her when she returns for her grandfather's funeral..the ranch..not farm..is in debt to the bank with no real hope of operating in the black any time soon..Dad (Lance Henrickson) is stuck in the past..raising cattle and breeding them but never getting ahead..and a daughter (Jennie Garth) who has ideas that are solid and detailed for the saving of the ranching business..somewhere they will have to meet in the middle..Throw in M.C.Gainey as best friend/foreman who has known everyone involved since way back when and you have a complex family in dis-array that needs healing and understanding..Gainey, in a scene- stealing portrayal of a loyal family friend rings true and Lance and Jennie deliver a solid performance as father and daughter at odds over ideals..on a small note..a farm is where you raise chickens and maybe cows for milking..but a ranch is a somewhat larger operation requiring herds to feed off the land..an enjoyable outing on the ranch..at any rate..
Catharina_Sweden This is a story about going with your time, keeping families together, and finding love. It is a very simple story, really, and sometimes a little boring. You can tell in the first 15 minutes how it is going to turn out - both love-wise and money-wise! Still, I liked this movie in some ways. It is homelike and cosy. It maintains family values and old-world ideas. It also has got some humour in it.It is worth watching a rainy day when you are ill or something. It is a good movie to watch in the company of your children, as there is nothing really unpleasant in it, like violence, gore, sex... It is a true family movie, and your horse-mad daughters are going to love it..!
eiselemk To me this movie shows what's happening in America today. This farmer is intent on keeping the land that's been in his family for five generations. It's not about money, it's about family, tradition, and values. Lance Henriksen was everything you would expect a Texas cowboy to be. Beautiful scenery, which only reinforces the desire to see this cowboy keep his land and his way of living rather than lose it to a banking institution where their only intention is to subdivide the land. How dreadful it would be to see housing communities across those hills. Outstanding cast and great story line keep you interested until the very end. Lance Henriksen, Jennie Garth and M.C. Gainey were very real, likable, and believable characters. Would like to see a sequel because it makes you feel as if there is more to the story that needs to be said. Have recently started to view the Hallmark channel, and have thoroughly enjoyed "The Last Cowboy", "Johnson County War", and "The Colt". It's so refreshing to watch programs that touch the heart. All are worth seeing again.
