Good concept, poorly executed.

disgusting, overrated, pointless

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I recently caught Wooly Boys on IFC, and I was glad to finally see the movie.I really love anything with Kris Kristofferson! He seemed like a natural cowboy. I laughed many times throughout the movie--especially at the Spratt brothers. Adam Stradlin (one of the Spratt brothers) looks like he could be a young John Travolta. He is so funny! It was great to see all the scenes that are set in Medora. Its worth seeing the movie just for all the gorgeous scenery. I used to go to the Medora Musical every year. I remember Bonnie being in the musical, and I see that she is now doing an online news show called News for Blondes. I missed her part in the movie, so I will have to wait till it comes on again.

Mediocre movie in the vein of "An Unfinished Life" that has its moments, but falls apart because it doesn't know whether to be a drama or a slapstick comedy. Peter Fonda and Kris Kristofferson give amazing performances, and share some very funny and bittersweet scenes, but they're constantly being interrupted by pointless comic relief. A movie about an old man waiting to die should not have bungling cops, Dukes of Hazzard villains, and annoying teenagers. The latter is especially grating. I realize the entire plot centers around the kid, but after ten minutes of his shrill, nasal whining I wanted him to get trampled to death by the sheep.It has beautiful footage of the North Dakota landscape (after a confusing side trip to Minneapolis), and like I said before, Fonda and Kristofferson are wonderful, but the rest is a wash. If they'd scrapped the comedy, this would have been a great movie.

BEWARE: If You supported Jeb Bush and his brother's Terri Shrivo's 'Right to Life' case, 'The Wooly Boys' is out of your league and definitely NOT FOR YOU!! It's film about getting busy living, here and now with dying with dignity when that time comes. 'The Wooly Boys' is set in North Dakota where men are men and the sheep are running scared in 3/4 time! Peter Fonda and Kris Kristofferson are fantastic together as sheep herders Stoney and Shuck. Although Kris has a pretty crappy opening scene, he shines as Shuck, Stoney's 'pain in the ass', yet ever loyal/lovable friend. I hope you'll agree, Joe Mazzello is an acting force to be reckoned with! I thought it's justifiably funny, especially in the wake of Terri Shrivo, to have the heroes committing numerous felonies, most with a deadly weapon starting with assault, two counts of kidnapping, The Mann Act, and grand theft just to get Stoney out of the hospital back home to live and die with dignity. Felonies must run in the family, Stoney's grandson Charles is a computer hacker with a chip on his shoulder and too much time on his hands. But, it is totally worth the price of the rental to see Kris Kristofferson cross dressed in a nurses uniform!

Having looked everywhere for information about this film for well over a year, I was shocked when it suddenly popped up on Cable and Satellite last weekend. It was quite different to what I had expected, but nevertheless well worth the wait. If you are looking for a film that will make you laugh and make you cry, but leave you with a nice warm feeling inside, then look no further. The whole cast is excellent, without a weak link and there are fine performances by Peter Fonda, Kris Kristofferson and Keith Carradine. But, not for the first time, Joe Mazzello (Radio Flyer,Jurassic Park,The Cure, Simon Birch) steals the show.As Joe's character, Charles is taken, reluctantly, on the journey of a lifetime, he discovers a whole new world, his roots and himself. We, the viewers, see a hugely talented young actor and the character he portrays growing up before our very eyes. This is one film not to be missed!
