Horse Sense

Very good performances by Andy and Matt! Andy is a little cowboy who is about ready to lose his ranch, his cousin Michael (joey) is forced to help out there by his parents, and winds up saving the day! My advice is to definately watch this movie if it is ever on Disney.

I saw this movie back in April 2000 when I was bored one Saturday afternoon and I was surfing through the channels and I found this movie playing on the Disney Channel. It looked entertaining right when I started to watch it. I loved this movie from beginning to end. I liked how the 2 antagonistic cousins put their differences aside and saved the one's ranch from foreclosure. I also liked it how the 2 cousins spent time having fun with one another on the ranch and getting to know each other. It does show what family members can do for each other and learn to love. I recommend this movie and the sequel Jumping Ship (2001) (TV) for everyone!

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.

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...

I am glad that there are people in the movie industry that think it is important to make movies for children. In my opinion there are so many shows that have an ill impact on children, especially young ones that are still learning the difference between right and wrong. As a parent, I think I speak for a large group of parents when I say that... I want to be able to let them watch TV without my constant supervision. There are plenty of movies that adults can watch and censor for themselves, so let's keep the easy watching shows readily available for those that are just learning about life! This show was enjoyable because it has a good "life lesson" storyline and helps support the concept of how being nice and looking out for others is a very important part of life. They also can see that our lives become happier when we stop being selfish. For anyone that has been around to see a "City Slicker" on a ranch (or has been the dude), this is a cute show and worth watching! It will bring back memories.

I think the acting was cute and the characters, though maybe a little cheesy, were still funny. The scenery is pretty and there are some really neat horse scenes. If you like horses and cowboys, this show can really be enjoyable. My suggestion would be to watch it with a young child and see it through their eyes (script aside).

Thanks
