Where was Straight from the Heart filmed?

When Jordan first arrives in Wyoming, she waits for Tyler to pick her up. The two are pretty opposite, with Jordan looking like a typical city slicker and Tyler looking like an old west cowboy. This leads to preconceived ideas that have the two off to a rocky start.

Jordan is worried about his appearance from the beginning, saying, “I can just imagine what

Tyler Ross is gonna look like...overalls, a beer belly, and one of those funny cowboy hats.”

She rides in his truck to the family ranch where Tyler lives with Laurie, his sister. The entire ride is awkward as the two struggle through small talk, and see how little they appear to have in common. Throughout the drive, Jordan also gets her first glimpse of the Wyoming countryside.

Once they get to the ranch she is introduced to Laurie, as well as the character Jesse, who is a ranch hand.

Laurie tells Tyler, “It's gonna be just like a Danielle Steel novel.”

During the scene where Jordan sits down for dinner with Tyler and the others, the tension between the two is clear. Jordan talks about her work taking photos of garbage, and when Clara calls to check in Jordan reveals Tyler doesn’t seem to like her.

Jordan says, “He's not exactly unattractive. But I have no idea why he asked me to come. He clearly does not want me here.”

Laurie tries to push Tyler into giving the woman more of a chance, but he is reluctant. After dinner, both of them end up outside to look at the stars, and the tension finally turns into a fight.

Tyler tells Jordan, “You got somebody else's name plastered on the back of your jeans. You're probably one of those politically correct people who never had a true thought of your own.”

Jordan immediately responds with, “And your mind's as closed as a steel trap. Can't tolerate anything or anyone outside your narrow little world out here. Decided I was a shallow snob the second you laid eyes on me, huh?”

Despite the argument, Tyler seems to be impressed with the way Jordan stood up to him.

One of the scenes in Straight from the Heart features Jordan and Tyler riding horses through the countryside. They come across a horse that has died, leaving behind her colt. Tyler decides to rope the colt and brings it back to the ranch. With the colt back, Tyler reveals that goat milk can be used for bottle feeding other animals.

Tyler says, “Now, what most people don't understand is that goat milk is the universal donor.”

He shows Jordan how to milk the goat to get milk for the colt. This brings the two characters closer, as Jordan sees Tyler’s softer side and he gets to see Jordan hold her own.

Not long after Tyler has rescued the colt, he attends a horse auction with Jordan. He wants to buy a stallion that has been on his land, but was recently caught by a land management company. Tyler reveals the grimmer side of the auction.

He tells Jordan, “Most of them are here to buy a pet. There are a few over there that like the idea of buying a horse for a few dollars and selling it to a slaughterhouse for 38 cents a pound.”

Tyler buys the mustang he was after, and while there confronts Hank.

Tyler says, “You had no right to take those horses.”

Hank does not back down and reveals more horses will be rounded up soon.

He makes a jab at Tyler when he says, “You know, it's too bad you didn't show as much care for some people as you do for those horses.”

Jordan is confused by this comment, but in the next scene, she learns that Hank is the father of Tyler’s former wife, who died during childbirth. Hank believes it is Tyler’s fault that his daughter is dead.

As the movie Straight from the Heart nears the end, Jordan finally gets what she wanted from the start. Edward calls, asking her to come home and back to their relationship. However, Jordan doesn’t tell him exactly when she will be back. When Jordan doesn’t immediately come back, Edward decides to show up. When Jordan says he doesn’t have a right to be there, he starts to ask for her back.

Edward says, “Well, I want to change that. Jordan. Listen. I was afraid of making another mistake, but now I'm more afraid of losing you. I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. It's not too late, is it? I mean, you and the cowboy aren't, uh..”

When Jordan says that she and Tyler are not together, Edward proposes. Jordan says yes, despite her clear hesitation about the idea. She leaves to go back to New York with Edward. Laurie tries to convince Tyler to go after Jordan, but he refuses to.

When Jordan is back in New York she finally has her first gallery opening. Instead of the photos, she has been taking of garbage, the gallery is used to display photos from Laurie’s wedding, Tyler, and the Wyoming landscape. It is during the gallery that Tyler makes his appearance, along with the colt that he and Jordan found. This scene is in reference to a story he told her earlier in the film about a Native American proposal custom.

Tyler asks her, “Will she do for a bride price?”

The couple embraces, having found their way back to each other.
