Wooly Boys (2001)
8/10
A funny Freewheelin' version of: 'Get busy Living or get busy dying!

Warning: Spoilers
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!
