It's a pity that movies like these are not getting better treatment by the distributors. Case in fact, are the problems encountered by those people who first bought this dvd. But surprise, surprise!, same thing happened here in Australia when the movie was first shown on FOXTel cable last year.
The distributors or whoever did the ad/guide layout didn't even bother to mention the names of the two lead stars, namely Jaclyn Smith and Tim Matheson. Instead, they used the names of those two unknown supporting actors (!?). If you don't know anything about the film, you'll definetely missed it.
Anyway, I really like this film. It's so romantic, and so sweet and the performance are absolutely fabulous. Smith and Matheson are so beautiful together. They should actually make more romantic movies. The film is so affectionate plus the scenery --the beautiful outback of Canada and the fish (!) of course!
I'm just wondering why they changed the original title FISHING WITH JOHN? That suits better, I guess.
And my golly, Jaclyn Smith, did she really found the fountain of youth? She's absolutely gorgeous and so sexy....
Problem Fixed, Excellent Movie!
This movie is so good! It is a fantastic love story, and Jaclyn Smith's performance is superb! I would highly recommend this movie. Especially those of you who love to watch romantic movies! AND you can't beat the price!!!!
Navigating The Heart
THEY HAVE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM MENTIONED IN THE OTHER REVIEWS. I too got the movie labeled Navigating The Heart but it was actually Natural Enemy (twice). Amazon was great about replacing and refunding and they notified the distributor about the problem. I then waited about a week and ordered it again because I had seen it on TV and liked it. I finally got the RIGHT DVD. I love this movie and got interested in the author of "Fishing With John", whose life this movie was based on, and ordered the book. Of course the movie was changed, as they always are, but both the the book and the movie are very good in my opinion and I would recomend it to anyone that likes romance stories.
I just love this movie. I saw it first on the Hallmark Channel when I was channel surfing, then I purchased the DVD. Each time I've watched it, I find I like it more and more. However, I would have loved to have seen more story/character development and a little more romance, perhaps even a wedding between Tyler & Jordan (reason for 4 & not 5 stars). For instance, the scene outside the barn after Tyler has turned away & ran from Jordan, he says ".. I never expected this" It's not clear at first exactly what it is he wasn't expecting. You realize later that he never expected to fall in love with her. Would be great if a sequel follows!??? More Info about this DVD Director(s): David S.

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...

This would have been a good movie it they would have left out the language. We didn't make it to the end of the movie to see how many foul words were used and the extremitity of the language. I wanted a movie with a good plot but without the language no matter how mild to some. It would have been a good movie it the language was left off.
