I have loved Andrew McCarthy since the 80's. He's always had a boyish charm that appeals to my inner teenager.
But, his portrayal of Tyler Ross, in Straight From The Heart, was a little disappointing. His actions seemed overly rehearsed and even a little forced. He just doesn't carry himself with that slow and easy cowboy grace that we've become accustomed to from watching such greats as Joyn Wayne and Jimmy Stewart. The script, as well, could have used some better writing, as the dialogue between the characters is often a little silly. Still, the movie can stand alone with it's familiar storyline, troubled hero, and happy ending.
