A 1995 American Comedy Drama directed by Lasse Hallström that has a woman (Julia Roberts) finding out her husband (Dennis Quaid) cheating on her and goes to her family's ranch to figure things out.

The movie also stars Robert Duvall, Kyra Sedgwick, Gena Rowlands, Brett Cullen, Muse Watson, Terrence Currier, among others.

It was released on August 4, 1995.


Tropes for the film:

  • Plot-Inciting Infidelity: Grace finds out her husband is cheating on her, which causes her to move into her parent's ranch.
  • Russian Reversal:
    • Emma Rae King: I got to see a horse about a man.
  • Somewhere, an Equestrian Is Crying: The movie co-starred Duvall, who actually knew how to ride, and so insisted on doing his own stunts. The problem here lies with the end competition. Identified as a Grand Prix event, that means the fences he'd be jumping would be approximately 5' high. They actually look about that height when some of the stunt riders are jumping. But it takes considerable training and skill to jump one fence of that height, let alone 8 of 12 of them. So all the fences were obviously lowered to about 2'6" for Duvall's turn.
