Hired Heart Reviews
Not Recommended
Garnet is the heroine, a young family doctor who recently lost her husband to a death-ride on a rodeo bull. She is tired of her father-in-law and other people in her picturesque town of Sweetwater, CO, being tired of HER unhappiness. Out of desperation she hires a "boyfriend" from an escort agency, and tells him to sweep her off her feet whenever they're in public to convince everyone they're seriously involved.
While the premise was appealing, the reality was a bit more mottled. Garnet, as both doctor and grieving wife, I found less than convincing. Claiming to have no interest in romance, she nevertheless behaves in an immature and needy, please-love-me-come-hither manner. She treats her long-suffering hiree with disdain, even while availing herself fully (and I do mean fully) of his "services", (calling him a "prostitute", for example, even when later she crawls under the covers with him, wearing lingerie and claiming all she wants is a snuggle... hmm).
The movie seems to be all about what the lad can do for her, a grief-stricken, lonely, beautiful, inconsistent and at times selfish woman... while she offers him little in return except verbal abuse. I'd say Garnet still has some serious growing up to do.
I don't recommend this movie. Perhaps there's good messages in it about moving on from grief and loving again, but they could have been done in a classier way.
Brett takes your breath away
If I was going to hire an escort he is the one I would want. Penelope and Brett made a great couple. Her father -in- law wanted her to date again after losing her husband on a bucking bull. She has to convince him she has a boyfriend so he quits sending every eligible bachelor in town to her office. Brett shows up and steals the show. He stands up to her father -in-law and wins the respect of the whole town.
This is an excellent movie.
