Straight From the Heart (2003)

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

This is a wonderfully realized television movie starring Teri Polo and Andrew McCarthy.McCarthy, as the embittered widower, sullen and angry with life, shows that he has become a masterful matured actor. He has really graduated from the days of the college or high school teen movies that he starred in years back.What makes this film so good is the way that the McCarthy character and Teri Polo gradually fall in love. How they get together is interesting enough. His sister writes an ad for her brother to meet someone, Polo's friend is upset that her friend's 5 year romance seems to be going nowhere and answers the ad for her friend.This brings about the Polo trip to the west where she immediately shows McCarthy that she can handle a rural life as well as his apparent insults.This is a heartwarming tale featuring the animals on the farm and an embittered father-in-law who blames McCarthy for his daughter's death after she gives birth to a baby girl who also dies.

I think that was the best movie I have seen with Andrew McCarthy. He is looking better the older he gets. He was a cute in his younger age, but now he is fine. I love his sexy blue eyes. I thought the scenery was beautiful. I wish he could make a sequel to that movie. I would love to see them get married on the show. I know that will never happen but it is a thought. Teri Polo is a very lovely lady. I think they make a cute couple in that movie. I have bought several of his movies off ebay. My husband thinks I am going crazy over Andrew. You know what, I am. I hope I see you soon in a romance again.Carol Glover

It has been awhile since I have seen Andrew McCarthy in a movie, I saw this film on the Hallmark Channel a few weeks ago and fell in love with him, the chemistry between he and Teri Polo, or their characters, is so thrilling. I am a horse trainer, and rider, so it was just a wonderful movie for me, I loved the short, but sweet romance between them Andrew McCarthy is so mysterious, the way he walks, how he moves, just is so amazing to me. Iwish with all my heart I could one day meet him he will never know how this film effected me. Thank you all, the producers, the director, and casting director for choosing him, and for choosing Teri Polo, I taped it and now can watch it in my spare time. Thanks

I Love to watch Andrew McCarthy Movies I Love them all and Have been watching him ever since I was a Teenager, But This Movie really touched me. He performed so well in this movie, I didn't know he rode horses and His Co-star was also great. I wish he would think of acting in more movies like this full of adventure and romance I really like that side of him. I think he is a wonderful actor and should be in a lot more big screen movies with Adventure and Romance or just Love stories, after all he is wonderful to watch, just my suggestion and I wish I could Buy the Movie Straight From The Heart. If anyone know if it is on DVD and where to purchase this Movie please contact me. Thanks, Lisa. Rose2799.
