This is a very good, romantic movie, with good acting, and a pleasantly predictable outcome. The country music score is first rate. Alex Roe does a really good job as the troubled lead. It's an example of why one shouldn't listen to professional critics.
A 2018 romance which opens up w/Jessica Rothe all decked out for her big day, she's about to get married, but then horror of horrors she's left at the altar. Fast forward 8 years & the absentee groom, Alex Roe, is revealed to be a hugely popular country music star whose success is only matched by his insistence to get drunk & hook up w/a rando during his tour stops but one morning he hears one of his friends has passed in a car accident (one of his best men from his wedding). Roe decides to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral halfway knowing he'll eventually run into Rothe who now runs a flower shop & has a daughter, Abby Ryder Fortson (the daughter from the first 2 Ant-Man films). It comes out Fortson is indeed his daughter putting Coe in the unenviable position to be a father while trying to clean up his act & win back Rothe's heart but after a mishap w/Fortson nearly choking during a family cookout, Roe is shellshocked enough to leave town w/the audience wondering will he make a reappearance before the credits roll. Posited somewhere between a religious film (Coe's dad, John Benjamin Hickey, is the town's pastor) & a Nicholas Sparks knockoff, the film is amiably entertaining even though Coe is pretty much a closed book in his performance w/Rothe a welcome addition to the enterprise (along w/her turn in All My Life) running the show w/flinty determination. Look for singer Travis Tritt in a small role as, you guessed it, a singer at a bar.
I like it very much . Yeah , I know that we have seem the same story many times but come on guys , if you like this kind of movies(romantic) you will fall in love with movies like that.Very good acting , good plot ... yes, many cliche and at some parts I guess the lines , but I like it.I Just wanted a little bit more country things...Greek99
Here's the thing: Josie (Jessica Rothe) is left at the Alter by Liam Page (Alex Roth). Now 8-years later we see that Liam Page is a big Country Music Star. He decides to return to his home town. Is it because he realizes he still loves Josie? Oh, no. He sees on TV that his best friend was killed in a car accident and that's why he goes. Now while there he, of course, runs into Josie and she wants nothing to do with him. (Of course, we don't believe that) But here's the other thing: he finds out he has a daughter named Billy (Abby Ryder Fortson) who is 7-yrs old. For once his head is clear. Let the games begin.
Now we know that Josie still loves Liam and Liam still loves Josie. Another thing: Billy figures out that Liam is her father and wants to get to know him. Josie isn't too sure about all this, but is willing to give it a try. So we know, in time, this will all work out. That is until something happens to Billy. Liam blames himself and goes away..... again.
Notables: John Benjamin Hickey as Pastor Brian, Liam's father; Tyler Riggs as Jake, Josie's brother who doesn't like Liam; Peter Cambor as Sam, Liam's manager, who convinces Liam to follow his heart; Travis Tritt as Walt, a singer in a bar Liam goes to.
It was surprising to hear Billy talk like she was wise beyond her years, but that is what we have and, actually, she was pretty good. And we see that she has a musical talent no one knew about.
The acting all around is very good as was the music especially the last song. This is slow paced, but I think that was needed. (Hey, you can't rush these things)
We are all waiting for the reason Liam left Josie at the Alter. And yes, it's kind of a stretch but it is what we have.
This is a very good love story , but I did notice one thing, one GLARING thing: at no time did Liam or Jose say, "I love you." We just have to read into it, and I am sure we will. (Yes, we will) (7/10)

This movie would be fine if the guy hadnt left the girl at the altar at the beginning of the movie and then disappeared for 10 years. I have a hard time believeing that any woman who that happened to would just fall back in love with the guy without so much as an apology from him. She punched him once as payback and then they were back on good terms. It feels like most of the movie overlooked that unforgivable first scene and pretended it happened happened. All in all a nice story but felt really head-in-the clouds unrealistic. This girl should know her own worth!!
Did you know
- TriviaWolf has said that she discovered singer/songwriter, Jackson Odell, literally in her own back yard. She has said that Odell is one of her son's close friends, and that Odell was singing and playing "Smokin & Cryin" in her back yard one night 3 years before filming commenced, when she was still in development on the film. Wolf recalls that she went into the back yard and asked Odell if she could call his parents in the morning because she wanted to put the song into a movie that she was working on. Odell was 17-years-old at the time. That song is featured in the film with Roe singing it on stage in a concert scene that takes place in London. Odell went on to co-write many of the songs in the film with music producer and songwriter, Brett Boyett: "Don't Water Down My Whiskey", "Enough", "Wings of an Angel", and "Finally Home".
- GoofsLeading up to the fancy date night in New Orleans, Josie's hair was straight. During the date her hair had some styling curls in it. Immediately after the date was concluded, her hair was straight once more.
