Movie Info
Still mourning the death of his father, young Buddy (Jacob Fisher) is devoted to his calf, Hokey, who is being raised for a livestock competition under the watchful eye of Buddy's mother, Hallie (Joey Lauren Adams). After their victory, Buddy is shocked to find out that his triumph will only result in Hokey's being killed for his meat by the highest bidder. Determined to save the bull, Buddy finds Mr. Blandford (Bruce Willis), Hokey's new owner, and tries to convince him to return the animal.

Cute for a G movie. A little cheesy, but that's to be expected. I enjoyed it aside from the part where the boys were "on the run" with the steer - that was a little boring and long, but otherwise it wasn't bad.
