I bought this movie in the bargin bin at WalMart basically 'cuz my hubby & I love Sam Elliot. It took us forever to get around to watching it and when we finally did, were very disappointed. It was just plain stupid. What a waste of time & money - for the makers of the film & for us. Oh, well. I guess I've learned my lesson about bargain movie bins.
I had the exact opposite experience. I saw it and thought it was gonna suck, but the movies were two for 10 dollars. I loved this movie and found it endearing. I only watched it once since I bought it in December, I'll probably watch it again soon though.
I watched this with my young sons and they really liked it. It had no rap music, no sexual jokes I would be asked to explain, nothing like that...really a good wholesome movie.
Just got done watching this movie. I'd seen it stting on various store shelves when I lived in the US but never got round to getting it. Once I was back in Scotland, I decided to order it online. It arrived and I'm glad that, after all this time, I finally sat down to view it. It is a wonderful film, filled with good, honest performances and some nice scenery. Just a simple, nice movie.
I found it while looking for information on whether any of Norman Maclean's stories had made it into film, other than "A River Runs Through It" I found it to be a pleasant surprise. I'm glad I ordered it and look forward to future viewings. If you require profanity, sex, violence, etc., it's not the film for you.
