Le ranch du bonheur

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.

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!

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.

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.

Brothers Joey and Andrew Lawrence play cousins in this Disney Family film Horse Sense. Joey is a spoiled preppy California beach type gets a chance to live with his country cousin.

But first it's young Andrew who comes for a visit to the rich city folks and it's Joey who's put in charge of keeping him busy and happy. But Joey blows the poor kid off and as a punishment the parents cut him off from credit cards and send him to live in the country where his widowed aunt Susan Walters are just trying to hang on to their ranch and keep it out of the grasp of a Snidely Whiplash type villain.

Horse Sense is both something Joey develops and a nice family film to boot. In fact Joey's the one who saves the family ranch and what I liked about it shows he was paying attention in law school class more than anyone realized.
