Editorial Review:
Three middle-age buddies (Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby) facing personal crises decide to sign up for a two-week cattle run for a change of pace. The trail proves a tougher place than anyone thought, and the boss (Jack Palance) is a grizzled taskmaster who doesn't cotton to tenderfoot urbanites. Popular in theaters, the film is both funny and moving, with Crystal giving one of his most complete performances and Palance (who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) a lot of colorful fun. Director Ron Underwood (Heart and Souls) subtly shifts the tone of the film from broad comedy to poignancy over its running time, and he makes the story's end a bittersweet victory that feels like life as most people know it. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - almost perfect..except
I ordered a full screen version...but I was sent a widescreen version.
It was for my mom after I bought her first DVD player.
It's one of her 2 favorite movies and I don't have the heart to take it away from her now...she watches it and "Twister" at least 2 times a week. She occassionally asks me what the 2 black lines are from. She's 88 years old, God Bless Her.

Rating: - I love this movie
This is a great family movie. It's definately a feel good flick. Billy Crystal is great and funny, as always. This movie has a sweet message and it's an uplifting movie. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - This film aged well
Many times I revisit a favorite movie after a number of years and I'm surprised how dated it looks or feels. This is especially true for films that try to project a hip or breakthrough style. The problem with being trendy is that when fashions change, you're left looking a bit dowdy to the next generation. My rule is that if a film can be dated within plus or minus three years without looking at the case, it tried too hard to be stylish.
