This is definitely not the most original take on This Time Around. In fact, I actually read it in another review first but it is so freaking true.

This Time Around



Let's recap, shall we?

We have a couple madly in love



Who are forced apart



Add in some meddling parents



And then the girl comes home back South from the big city



And sparks fly once again





Could certain obstacles keep them apart?





Or will they get their happy ending?





Oh, and don't forget the house he built for her



And his visit to the big city that makes him decide to be better for her



And her unhappiness with her current life





And the meddling parent's emotional revelation



Admit it. You love these two movies as much as I do. They're well loved, and while nothing in This Time Around will truly surprise, you'll love it as much as I love these two movies.
