Paul Gross From Slings & Arrows In Wonderful Romance
Added 9/25/2009
Paul Gross was wonderful as the actor and theatrical head haunted by the ghost of the former theatrical head. This was SLINGS & ARROWS. That show ran for three seasons. It was Canadian as is all of Gross's work. Thus, this love story is also Canadian, set on a ranch in Alberta. The story is marriage of convenience in plot but that is about all that is borrowed in this fresh and captivating story. The woman inherits her father's ranch and Gross will help her run it (since she doesn't know how) if they get married. She is fresh from the city, an urbanite. He has always lived in this Alberta wide open spaces milieu. There is nothing schmaltzy or gimmicky about this film. It is very realistic and the romance builds believably. Paul Gross is a big discovery for an American audience. I am still tracking down his other work.

Just so-so

The only reason to watch this flick is that you are a major Paul Gross fan and you've run out of other films. He is supposed to be a Polish cowboy who proposes to his neighbor so he can have her farm (!!!!!). The only good part is he's young, buff, and wearing skin tight pants. If you want to see Paul Gross funny, watch Due South. If you want to watch a mature Paul Gross at the top of his game, watch Slings and Arrows.

Story is a bit Choppy
Added 11/14/2006
the cast is good the movie is ok....and Ya I'm a Paul Gross Fan.
BUT
The story just seems to have a lot of jumps in it, not running real smoothly one sceen to the next. At times that's fine you know stuff like that is done, but for this movie I think its done a bit to much.
The movie isn't bad but it could be a bit better done.
The actors did a good job, won't say anything there.
The Alberta background is like WOW, reminding me of Yellowstone. will agree with the one realestate friend, Eleanor, in the movie....ain't much for shopping though.

If you are a Wendy Crewson (Air Force One, Unexpected love, Perfect Pie "24" Season 3, you will love this movie. She is abt 30 in it. If your not a Crewson fan but love Hallmark type movies you will love this. A warm modern western.
