Based on the best-selling novel by master storyteller Nicholas Sparks, THE LONGEST RIDE centers on the star-crossed love affair between Luke, a former champion bull rider looking to make a comeback, and Sophia, a college student who is about to embark upon her dream job in New York City’s art world.
As conflicting paths and ideals test their relationship, Sophia and Luke make an unexpected connection with Ira, whose memories of his own decades-long romance with his beloved wife deeply inspire the young couple. Spanning generations and two intertwining love stories, THE LONGEST RIDE explores the challenges and infinite rewards of enduring love. In theaters on April 10, 2015

When he taped his hands to the saddle I became very worried as he could rip an arm off or at a minomum rip his rotator cuff. I also love their story and Scott is my generations Clint Eastwood, being his son and all plus them having similarities.

I’m looking forward to seeing this movie tomorrow. Even if the love story is schmaltzy, I can enjoy watching the young Eastwood and rodeo for a couple of hours. I’m not a fan of Nicholas Sparks’ love stories, but watching rodeo and cowboys will get me in the door!
Jeffrey says
Wow! This looks like a very interesting movie. I am looking forward to seeing how the rodeo scenes are going to be depicted. And I thought it was interesting that the trailer suggested that the cowboy is having to take pain pills in order to cope with his aches and pains.

FYI – I wanted to let you know that I tried to Stumble this post but had to have it removed from StumbleUpon as the title that this movie came up under was mislabeled as something inappropriate. I thought I would let you know as I don’t really know how StumbleUpon really works.
