We were in the movie and had fun doing it.We live in Montana and were country dance teachers back then 15 years ago. The casting director asked us to help with the dance scene in Apgar and bring our friends as extras. We had some fun teaching the cast and then filming for a very long day. We had to wear summer clothes for the shoot and it was filmed in October in Glacier National Park. I mean it was very cold but we had to smile in retake after retake, freezing in our short sleeve shirts late into the night.You think you want to be in the movies? Well, that cured me forever. Actors/Actresses deserve the money they get - trust me.Funny, the film was never shown in the county where it was filmed and where we live (Flathead) so we all headed down to Ronan on the Indian Reservation to see it there one night.

As a big fan of movies, I always love watching them and dedicating myself into reviewing them in effort to help other audiences of these films. I also want to thank all the actors in this film; thank you for your effort in making this film possible.Now, I really like this movie, BUT the only thing I didn't like, was that "Dane" ended up being straight, or at least that's what I gathered. I really wished the storyline went where Dane and Henry Finally caught up and stayed boyfriends! Anyways, good movie. I loved the fact that it seemed like everyone in the movie was OKAY with gays!! I was like, "Oh-My-God!" I mean, to see those old timer cowboy looking dudes. Actually being part of the gay "Drama" was awesome.I really would recommend this movie to anyone who loves, Gay films.Thank you, Big Eden (Cast and Crew) and everyone for making this film.-Jaymee

I watched this movie based on the reviews here and elsewhere. What a disappointment. I thought I was watching a different movie than the one reviewed. The premise of the movie was encouraging, but the execution and the acting was just not believable. In fact at times it was laughable (unintentionally). The lead was just not believable nor likable - I couldn't get past the premise that he was being pursued by TWO men, not just because he wasn't traditionally 'cute', but there was NOTHING in his personality that made him attractive or appealing. In fact, he seemed to be uncomfortable being gay. Another problem I had was that the movie was filled with all these 'wacky' but lovable and understanding characters who became annoying (to me) since they were so over the top 'cutesy'. This movie tries to be a 'feel good' movie, but I couldn't get past the bad acting and unbelievable characters. The movie's soundtrack was the best thing (older Country).

I couldn't believe where this movie was going to go. But it surprised me.I was really hoping the big Indian would win out, for a few scenes it seemed he was do damn shy, it was almost sickening.I just wish he would of opened his heart a little more, it would of happened a little sooner. But he was afraid to get hurt.The town's people tried their best to help him, which was a breath of fresh air. Usually in these situations, the townsfolk would be trying to kick the Gays out of town.This was a very positive movie and I would love to see it again and again.Going on my list of best movies to keep.
