Amazon.com video review:
Three middle-age buddies (Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno
Kirby) facing personal crises decide to sign up for a two-week cattle
run for a change of pace. The trail proves a tougher place than anyone
thought, and the boss (Jack Palance) is a grizzled taskmaster who
doesn't cotton to tenderfoot urbanites. Popular in theaters, the film
is both funny and moving, with Crystal giving one of his most complete
performances and Palance (who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) a lot
of colorful fun. Director Ron Underwood (Heart and Souls)
subtly shifts the tone of the film from broad comedy to poignancy over
its running time, and he makes the story's end a bittersweet victory
that feels like life as most people know it. --Tom Keogh
