I enjoyed this movie. It's about a feisty woman who wants to get away from a mean ex and answers a letter to her recently deceased friend, for a mail-order bride. I felt sorry for the prospective husband when he met the woman because she didn't tell him she wasn't the one he had been writing to and expected to marry.

I liked the characters, plot, scenery, horses, and the ending. It was suspenseful and heartwarming at the same time. As the characters revealed themselves, I became even more interested to see what the outcome was going to be, especially when her past caught up with her. It wasn't your typical Western-type movie, and that's what made it even more intriguing. I loved the fact that you could almost sense beforehand, some of the actions that would occur, but you could not foresee all of them. That makes it a great and entertaining movie.

The Founder is the story of McDonald's and how it began as a single shop and turned into the largest business in the food industry.

Ray Kroc is a desperate salesman trying to sell his product, a milkshake maker that no one needs. To his surprise, he gets an order for 6 machines. He cannot believe it and calls them back to be sure it was true. It was and to his surprise, the quantity was raised to 8. He had to see this place, so he goes to the restaurant. He was amazed to see the professionalism maintained and the ideas introduced/invented by the brothers for their business. Their restaurant is called McDonald's. Ray was eager to know their story and the brothers explain all their trade secrets. Ray couldn't sleep that night and goes back to the brothers with a new proposal. Here begins the story of the business tycoon McDonald's.

Ray Kroc was a scumbag of the highest order, in a class all his own. My heart breaks for the McDonald brothers who were steamrolled, manipulated, and who had their livelihood utterly destroyed by this cunning, ruthless man. Especially with the notes at the end how they never received one dime in royalties. This story will really make you hate McDonald's.

The McDonald brothers main concern for franchising their restaurant, which had taken them years to perfect just the way they wanted it was that the quality of the food would suffer and thus the name would suffer. Now some 60-odd years later it is funny to think about how that is exactly what happened. And is one of the reasons I stopped eating at McDonalds. After watching this movie, I am even more against the chain.

This is hilarious! How can an experienced CIA operative be outsmarted by a 9-year-old? Well, she did and made him promise to teach her how to be a spy. So he took her on assignments where she introduced herself as his protege. The looks they got were priceless.

This movie is the best one I've seen all year.
