Schmaltz held to tolerable limits

Jennie Garth has a grudge against her father (Lance Henriksen), but comes back home to attend her mother's father's funeral.When she inherits part of the family ranch, she must make peace with Dad if they are to ward off the debts and developers trying to take their land.

Formula stuff, but played well by a terrific cast, especially Henricksen, M. C. Gainey with a show-stealing turn as a laid-back ranch hand and "Alias" sidekick Bradley Cooper.Garth is better than I've ever seen her and rides a horse credibly.

If this is what Hallmark is going to do with their TV network, it could make up for the "Touched By an Angel" reruns.
