How many cliches can you cram into one little movie? Many. It isn't that this is bad. It's sort of tepid and breaks absolutely no new ground. This is a story that's been told to death.
It was nice to see Tom Wopat and Gregory Harrison, both quite capable in their roles. I've noticed a lot of praise for Michael Grant, and he was good as well. But I thought Josh Green was mostly overlooked for his performance.
The story unfolds without surprises. There is nothing in the script to account for Richard's epiphany and sudden change of heart when it came to selling the family farm. A couple of minor, incidental conversations did not convince me. The sudden decision to sell the farm kind of ruined the film for me. Just didn't ring true.
