Quotes
Arthur Parkinson:
She used to babysit me when i was younger, for years. She used to let me stay up til past midnight. I had a crush on her. I used to drop my toys on the floor. She'd have to bend down, pick them up, I could see right down her shirt. She stayed over once, my parents went out of town. And I saw her naked. I took my moms little make up mirror, tilted it under the bathroom door, watched her shower. She was beautiful.

"In the Heart of the West"
Written by Gene Autry and Fleming Allen (as Allan Fleming)
Published by Songs of Universal, Inc. (BMI)

After reading about this movie, and others comments I was very keen on checking it out. Unfortunately after doing so I have been strongly disappointed. There are several comments about the strong performances and how people connected to these characters... The entire movie I kept asking myself, "when I am going to start caring?" The movie ended and I couldn't wait to turn it off, I was inclined to fast forward just to see what happens. But painfully watched it to the end.
Although there was some decent performances from Beckinsdale and Angarano, there was utter weakness from Rockwell who seamed more like an confused infant than an ex violent alcoholic. On top of that, the scripting and acting of Tara was nail biting, and overall I felt as if I was in another world where the rules of communication no longer applied. I could go on, but I strongly feel that this movie does not deserve the 7.2 that is currently listed and that you be careful before spending your time with this one.
