REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 5-Jul-2006)

Love struggles to find a way nomatter the time nor obstacles in place. This comfortable old charmer is full of finding one self and overcoming obstacles of many sorts. Tierney and Harrison are a perfect fit for a romance so true to the story, rough and gentle and passionate enough for even a man to enjoy, well shot and happily before action and special effects began to replace good old fashioned acting.
