The leads are all from Canada in this production from CBC, Canadian Broadcasting. Janet Laine Green and Ron White star in this story of a bull rider trying to earn a living without getting injured. Son "Shane" (of course) is played by brothers Zach and Joshua Ansley at different ages. Looks like Zach got out of the biz in 2002, while this was the only film for Joshua. Liberal use of the dramatic music.... they never miss a chance to play the cheesy music, and dad never misses a chance to take a drink. Tragedy strikes, and now Dad's falling apart. Then, they stumble into a jackpot, and try to find a new career. Kind of a snoozer. Nothing wrong with it... just kind of saunters along. and what would a cowboy film be without harmonica music?? This would make a GREAT drinking game movie... take a shot every time they say "Sorey".... or "Eh". Story by Marillyn Halvorson... she seems to be a one hit wonder, or at least this was her only book made into a film. Directed by Anne Wheeler, who has directed many a Canadian film.
