Wooly Boys

Wooly Boys begins with an appealing promise: Leszek Burzynski will treat its comedy framework as a route into character rather than an excuse for noise. The early chemistry between Peter Fonda and Kris Kristofferson gives Wooly Boys an immediate pulse. The story of Wooly Boys begins from a specific pressure point: A sheep rancher's visit to the big city triggers a mischevious adventure with his teenage computer whiz grandson. By the end of its 1h 39m running time, the value of Wooly Boys rests less on novelty than on the care of its execution.

Wooly Boys finds its clearest story engine when the central character comes into conflict with an important relationship.
