The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Tayyab Torres
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

It's hard to believe there are people who actually enjoyed this. On top of the pointless scenes they threw in and the terrible order, She ended up with the wrong guy. What was the point in even showing the doctor (especially the scene towards the end where he had the gift for her with the engraving about the music) if they had no plans on taking that anywhere? She was obviously developing a connection with him, it was clear from that moment at the church that something was changing for her. And then, of course, her smiling while messaging him. If the plan was to put her back with her lying husband all along, then why did they include those scenes? To get on our nerves? It was actually more heartbreaking than romantic. Seeing him standing there, waiting for his turn to go up to her and give her the engraved gift. THAT was romantic. But then her husband has to come up before he gets the chance. And then you don't see him again the rest of the movie. It should be listed as a tragedy, not a romance.

Not sure what was the thought process in making this film, not one character made any logical choices. I though the acting wasn't horrible, the story was laughable. It was insufferable and seemed like an hour long music video, with dialog wrapped inside a terrible idea. No thanks please just no.

I would call this Jana Kramer's 2nd best film since "Approaching Midnight". Jana in this one stars as Faith, in a story based on the prodigal son returning home (however this is the prodigal daughter). Approaching Midnight takes better advantage of her acting chops and it was theatrical while this picture was a direct to video piece. I heard that this was a vehicle to promote Jana's music but I was hoping for more of her tracks to be played throughout the movie in subtle ways. I would watch this movie again on DVD however because of Jerry McRaney a great actor with a solid part that was given to him. The locations are pretty solid for this movie too. I enjoyed seeing the south on camera. I think more films should be filming in the south and Heart of the Country takes advantage of some great locations.

Lots of not so subtle Christian values, pleasant film. This is a independent film marketed to be a family film with it's message of Christian values hitting the watcher with a sledge hammer of Christian values. Some people of other religions or agnostics might find the movie hard to handle. Well produced, well acted but a little to sugary sweet in its story line. I wouldn't pay to watch it in a movie theatre but worth a watch if you have nothing better to do, only rates a TV movie of the week.Surprising prejudice against the North, the south lost the civil war; get over it, its called the USA. They should not be calling the car a Yankee car. This is a not so subtle slap against Americans from Michigan.
