This movie was originally titled "Mattie" but was changed so guys like me would watch it instead of the real target audience. The film takes place in 1902 during the Arizona gold rush. Mattie (Kaylee DeFer) is 18 and cares for her 2 sisters and brother while her dad (Chris Dunn) looks for gold. There are also claim jumpers who kill and rob the fortune hunters. The claim jumpers include a Native American with a bad Mexican accent.
This is a low budget PG production where girls giggle and faint if a good looking man waves at them. The community fixes up Mattie with Zeb Fulton (Ryan Doom), however it is Zeb's brother Jacob (Ric Maddox) that has the eye for her. Zeb travels and is not a great husband and leaves his wife at home with his brother. Since this is a PG film with a heavy faith based theme, the expected "R" rated events do not happen.
The movie contains a lot of narration from Mattie who reads us character as opposed to it being built and philosophizes her faith. She speaks as an educated woman using very bad grammar and such. I thought the dialogue was a bit awkward. This is a faith based western for the younger crowd, perhaps a family night film, although I can't imagine most teens enjoying this production as it tends to be boring.
No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Some killing, nothing horrific.
