[.ca] Montana Sky

The spirit of the story is still there...:
"Montana sky", based on a novel of the same title written by Nora Roberts, is an entertaining movie that even those that have not read Roberts book will like. The story begins with the funeral of Jack Mercy, a multimillionaire rancher that dies suddenly, leaving "Mercy ranch" to his three daughters, Willa (Ashley Williams), Tess (Charlotte Ross) and Lily (Laura Mennell). These three young women have different mothers and dont know each other, but will have to live together for a year as stipulated in Jacks will, if they dont want to lose their inheritance. Jacks interference doesnt end there: as autocratic in death as he was during his lifetime, he has left two overseers for a year, and one of them is Willas hateful neighbour, Ben (John Corbett). Willa, the only one of the sisters that lives and works in the ranch, along with her half-brother Adam (Nathaniel Arcand), resents her sisters presence, and the fact that she now has to deal with Ben daily. But not everything is what it looks like, and sometimes what seems like bad luck can turn out to be for the better. When a dangerous stalker threatens them, Willa, Tess and Lily will need to trust each other, and the men around them, in order to survive. Sounds interesting? Well, it is :) Truth to be told, I was somewhat afraid to watch this film, because I didnt think such a great novel could become a movie without losing the nuances that make it so good, but Mike Robe (the director) managed to avoid making an oversimplified version of "Montana sky". Even though this movie is quite different from the book, and despite the fact that several story lines have been omitted or modified, the spirit of the story is still there, and I believe you will enjoy it. That is the reason why I can recommended it to you... Belen Alcat PS: I wish the "In death" series (Nora Roberts writing as J.D. Robb) had movie versions, too. I guess well have to wait a little bit more for that to happen :( PS 2: If you like this movie, Im pretty sure that you will love the book on which it is based.
