I Really really really liked this film i wanted to see it for ages but as i live in Britain they no channel ever showed it! But then the channel Trouble (who seem to be in love with Joey Lawrence! Just like me!!) Were having a whole day dedicated to him showing brotherly love and run of the house! But the main reason they did it was because they were FINALLY going to show Horse sense on British television!!! God bless Trouble t.v!!!!!! Anyway i watched the film and absolutely loved it. It's a really cute Disney movie starring two of the Lawrence brothers Joey and Andy. Its about this Kid called Tommy (Andy) who lives on a ranch with his mother in the country but is going to L.A to visit his older spoilt rich kid cousin Micheal (Joey)! But Micheal treats Tommy like crap so is forced by his parents to spend 30 days on Tommy's ranch! He starts off rough but after a while he truly begins to realise how hard Tommy has to work (even though he's only 11 years old!) And really learns a lesson and ends up saving the ranch!! All in one month! You go Joey!! I love you!!!!!
This is one of the hardest films to view or get a hold of from the Disney library. It's not officially available on dvd, and the VHS is hard to come by nowadays. However, its sequel, Jumping Ship is available on DVD and is more readily available to be viewed.
Back in the early 2000s, the Lawrence brothers, Andy and Joey, were very popular; Joey was a heartthrob and Andy voiced TJ on Recess. The two brothers play cousins in the film, one from the Midwest and the other from the west coast. The movie reminded me of how different my own cousin and I are, both economically and socially. The same is probably true for many Americans.
The only part of the movie I find hard to believe is that the rich aunt and uncle would send their pampered son to the other cousin's ranch as punishment. For one thing, sending him to help family shouldn't be a punishment, but rather a learning experience. The movie is rewarding, in that it does show what love, family and hard work can offer.

The Lawrence Brothers are really good when it comes to comedy. Joey has come a long way since Blossom. He plays a real snobby rich jerk that eventually is forced to face the hard realities of life. His brother Andy is great as his cousin in this film. It is an emotionally good film and I hope Disney will get busy and release it on video and DVD.
A spoiled boy (Joey Lawrence) spends the summer at his cousin's (Andrew Lawrence) ranch and learns a valuable lesson about love and loyalty.
How cute, currently cliché, but at the time there were great teachings about valuing family and love for nature and the simple and essential things in life, very cute, from that "Afternoon Session" full of tenderness and affection that we love, simple production , but efficient, beautiful countryside images, impeccable photography, funny script, educational message, perfect and cute... Ownt, my surprise to learn that the protagonists are brothers, natural and spontaneous chemistry, what a dengo...

Well it was very different then I thought it would be! Joey is a city guy with everthing he wants but his little cousin comes to town and tries to see Joey's character but Joey does not see him much and he will end up in a barnyard full of laughs that you would never seen Joey do! He went country! It's a great family movie and shows a lot of what a family should do for each other! Don't miss it!
