Inspired by a glamorous magazine ad, Sonora aspires to get to Atlantic City, New Jersey, where “all your dreams come true.” She runs away to a local fairground to answer a newspaper notice looking for a girl to perform in a diving horse act, where she meets Doc Carver (a showman in the style of Buffalo Bill), his son, Al ( HOT), and an entrepreneurial redhead named Clifford (who gives her a free hotdog the first time they meet – I can tell that Clifford and I would be BFFs). WHCBB starts out in Depression era rural Georgia, a locale that the sassy (and stubborn) Sonora Webster can’t wait to escape. So keep that in mind as you read this: I am sacrificing a lucrative career as a movie critic in order to share with you the wonderful wonderfulness of this film. And without any integrity or taste, I am doomed to fail as a movie reviewer.

The other reason is that I LOVE THIS MOVIE SO MUCH and there’s no way I can write an unbiased review, which will simultaneously destroy any illusion of my journalistic integrity and get your hopes for this film so high that when you watch it you’ll inevitably be let down and question my taste in films. But it’s still on instant right now, so technically it counts! Plus, you could always add it to your DVD queue.

The first is that Netflix will be taking Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken off of the instant watch on 10/19/10 (in other words, TOMORROW), so by the time anyone reads this it probably won’t be available. I’m a little hesitant to review this movie, for two reasons.
