I'm not sure this is actually Yellowstone. I think they said her friend was moving to Wyoming, so that would be the Yellowstone factor, however, the romance that supposedly happens in Yellowstone doesn't. In fact, it has nothing to do with Yellowstone. So why the false advertising? I think they were actually in Colorado, because the father says something about her not being from Denver, so that's a clue, but maybe I missed something. Now that's out of the way, here's my thoughts about the film. The lead female is despicable at first, indeed very easy to dislike, but as you will see, this changes ever so slowly over time. She does become somewhat endearing eventually. But she's not a daisy, she still retains some fire. She's an assertive and opinionated city girl, after all. But her true colors flash now and then and she's predominantly likable. Of course the lead male is to die for. If I had to choose the hottest, rugged men of Hallmark, he would be in the group along with Donovan, MacFarlane, Walker, Hynes, Polaha, Rosner and Paevey. I'm a dude and even I can tell who the ladies dig. The story is standard and there is nothing new, so we have to rely on whatever originality the actors give us. The city slicker mentality is awkward in a backwoods cowboy town, so that was nice and tense. Otherwise, it's just a simple love story between a blond bombshell and her very own cowboy. There is some competition with the female ranch hand, which added some drama, but not enough.
