Le ranch du bonheur

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.

Disney "original" films, which almost always feature wise-cracking kids controlling their own type of fantasy world, are almost always ludicrous.

However, Horse Sense, though not a great film altogether, is probably the best of the bunch (being Disney "Originals") because it offers a fairly interesting, though predictable story with an all too emotionally controlling ending. However, it's for the kids, which is why I give it 2.5/5 stars-

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.

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!

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!
