Straight From the Heart (2003)
Jordan Donavan, a photographer in New York, is so disappointed when after five years of going steady Edward Morgan offers her not marriage but just to move in with him, that she accepts the match-making arranged via a magazine by her female friend with Tyler Ross, a horse rancher in the West, whose candidacy was actually also posted by his sister. After a bad start they soon grow closer.

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
From my favorite movies..
An absolute waste of money
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
I absolutely love this movie. It is the perfect film for anyone who loves uplifting, heart tugging, romance. I have to say I have rediscovered Andrew McCarthy after many years and am enjoying many of his movies that I wasn't aware of before. If you enjoy the chemistry between him and Teri Polo, you have to see A Change of Heart (aka A Father for Brittany). I have watched both of these repeatedly, and don't seem to be tiring of them. I love romantic movies, and the fact that Andrew has gone from being one of the most adorable heartthrobs of the 80's (St. Elmo's Fire) to a gorgeous 40 something who can actually act, and very well, I might add, makes him one of my favorite actors and watching his movies one of my favorite pass times.
You should see the movie to feel the real passion.It is really amazing how two people who seem to have so few in common make a perfect couple in this film as they are in real life.Sometimes a simple single people add may bring you the love of your life. Jordan considered this trip really crazy as she was in a relation with Edward but her friend believed this could be a good chance to find her soul mate.At first the only thing they seem to have in common is dislike. But after learning about the first wife who died in childbirth, Jordan begins to see Tyler in a different light.
I just watched the movie Straight from the Heart, starring Teri Polo & Andrew McCarthy. I give this a 10 out of 10! In my opinion, Teri Polo & Andrew McCarthy did a TERRIFIC job! I loved the country scenes! I wonder where the church is, where the sister got married. I would love to have it on DVD to watch without all the commercials. If you enjoyed this, as I did, other movies to consider, would be Hallmark's The Love Letter. Talk about fantastic! I've watched it at least 3 times & I think I even have it on VCR tape. Also, Back to You & Me with Lisa Hartman Black, Dale Midkiff and Rue McClanahan was great. Only thing I did not like was all the commercials. 6 to 8 minutes each time. But I can not fault the movie or the actors for that, but that's the TV industry now a days & why we now have DVR!
I really liked this movie. I ran across it while looking for something to watch, saw who was in it (Andrew McCarthy) and stopped to watch it. I only have two problems with the movie - one, no one who wears a ball cap wears it with their ears tucked in (like Terri does) and her camera makes a noise as if it was had an auto winder on it, yet she advances the film with the lever.Watching McCarthy ride was a great thing, too. It's funny, though, because I knew from the description that this was from a romance novel - and one I'd probably read a while ago. Had this thing for cowboys, you know. Never really got over that...(As a woman who frequently wears ball caps and who was a 35mm photography nut - before digital got good - I guess I'm picky.)
