A Valentine's Date (2011 TV Movie)

Ridiculous
30 January 2021
Ridiculous. Opening shots of the City of Austin, then a cut to a huge mountainous backdrop of their central "Texas" ranch (which is obviously set in California--unless I've missed seeing that mountain for the past 40 years that I've lived in Austin). Two blue-eyed parents with a brown-eyed kid--genetically impossible. Yes, casting agents, people notice these kinds of things and it makes films even less believable. The leading lady wearing cowboy boots to ride a horse in Texas-with an English riding saddle. A meal of enchiladas (Tex-Mex) paired with dirty rice (Cajun). Hint--no one here does that. A supposedly sophisticated now-New Yorker who shows up to court without a lawyer--(oh, but wait-later her NY attorney flies to Texas to represent her, apparently with a magical license to practice in Texas). The lead, supposedly raised in Texas, soooo worried about her ~10 year old daughter being around animals like piglets and horses because "she could get hurt," since she's "a city kid." Giant eye-roll from me. Did anyone on this film do their homework first?????
