Member Rating:  
William Petersen's High Horse Films produced this romantic comedy that endeavors to recall the glory days of Cary Grant and Irene Dunne. Petersen stars as Joey Coalter, a roving adventurer who has been married to his wife Chris (Sissy Spacek) for almost thirteen years but has rarely been home. During that time Chris has become fed up with Joey's cavalier ways. But it comes as a complete shock to Joey when, while talking to a group of cowpokes about Tahitian women somewhere on the prairie, he receives a wedding invitation sent by his daughter Beth (Olivia Burnette) that announces the wedding of Chris to dull business man Walter Humphrey (Brian Kerwin). Beth hopes the surprise wedding invitation will prod Joey to try to get back together with Chris. Chris hopes so too, as Joey drops what he is doing and takes off to stop Chris's pending nuptials. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

    I was so disappointed with this movie. While the characters were very likeable, the twist that the plot took at the end was such a let down.

    I thought Sissy Spacek and William Peterson were absolutely wonderful in this film. It is a sweet love triangle of a story and you truly don't know who to root for in the end because I came to like each of them and didn't want any of them to get hurt. It also reminded me of the '80s love stories my mom and I used to watch back then, it just warmed my heart.
