Remake?? Plot Ripoff??

Rating: Null/10 (14 June 2006)

After thoroughly enjoying this movie with my kids, I could not help but having that nagging feeling of Deja Vu... It hit me about 18 hours later but I realized that I HAD seen this movie before, only under a different title.
Think about it... Big city hotshot on his way to California. Has to work off a debt before he is allowed to leave. Meets girl whom he assumes (wrongly) is another small town, small minded, no goals woman. Finds out later she too came from the big city. Finally gets to leave and makes it to California. Eventually sees the errors of his ways and returns to settle down in same small town.
Does this ring any bells with other movie goers?? Of course I know the answer, but have YOU seen these same plot points in another movie?
