Home is Where Heart Is on DVD

I usually spend my downtime trying to relax with either a good book or a good movie. I don’t really have a favorite genre, so I enjoy all kinds of different movies.

To add to my movie night fun was a copy of the new movie HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS by Ace Entertainment. It will be available to buy on DVD August 19th.

Director: Rajeev Dassani
Writer: Conrad Goode
Cast: Bailee Madison, Laura Bell Bundy, Conrad Goode, Jonathan Banks, John C. McGinley

Movie Synopsis: Disillusioned actress Sunny returns to her hometown of Bent Arrow, Texas, to attend her mother’s funeral and provide guardianship for a half sister she never knew, 10-year old Cotton. The dusty old town is struggling to stay alive, but maintains its quaint and quirky charm. It provides solace for an ex-NFL player, Butch, who is coping with a heart-wrenching loss by painting watercolor postcards at a roadside stand. Sunny and Butch bond over their mutual relationship with Cotton, and come up with a plan to save the town. When tragedy strikes, their plans are derailed, but hope glimmers in the distance.

My Thoughts: First that came to my mind was that I couldn’t believe how many spectacular actors I recognized (from either other films or television shows) in this movie! Of course, they all did great. The story was completely believable and their characters seemed authentic.

It is truly not at all like a typical cliché romantic movie (Fairy Tale, “Happily Ever After”) sort of thing. Things take unexpected turns. I loved that, kind of. This movie made me laugh, and as much as I hate to admit it, it made me cry!

It’s definitely a “feel good” story. I’m glad things eventually work out for Sunny and Cotton. This movie was very good about opening my eyes to what was really the power to move on and keep persevering in Life. With a good positive outlook, and of course hope, “it’s never too late for a fresh start.”

I thoroughly enjoyed HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS. It’s PG-13 for a reason, it has some steamy love and violence scenes that honestly weren’t crazy bad but still not age appropriate for some. But watch it for the plot, and overall it’s good for family, as long as any kids are older. I know I’ll watch it again soon!
