Charles (Joseph Mazzello) has no idea what he's in for when his Grandfather, Stoney (Peter Fonda), comes to Minneapolis for medical treatment. A pampered, big-city kid, Charles has a difficult time relating to this old man from a sheep ranch. But when Stoney's pal Shuck (Kris Kristofferson) shows up to break him out of the hospital, Charles is swept up in the adventure of a lifetime. From a stolen hearse to a wild, hilarious race back to the Badlands of North Dakota, Charles learns to be a "wooly boy" and appreciate his roots. This funny, heartwarming story underlines the power of family and friendship and shows us that it's never too late.

If you've ever lived in the raw northern states of North/South Dakota, Iowa, Montana, Utah, Minnesota, then you have to find heart in Wooly Boys. Yes, it's a little slow, but the actors can't be beat, and for the baby boomer generation who really grew,and knew, that life style it was so fun. It just peeled back layers of years from me. Things I had forgotten we had done as kids and how much things have changed. Yes, it was great that his grandson experienced his life. Nothing can compare to hands on experience, nothing!!!!! We depended on each other. There were no fancy computers, phones, headsets etc. We knew the people around us, we knew our animals, we knew our enemies, and we knew our friends.
This was one of the most hilarious & saddest movies I think I have ever watched here on Amazon. I laughed my butt off during some of the scenes and cried during others. Peter Fonda and Kris Kristofferson played their parts to perfection--they were great! This would be a great family movie for families with children 10 and above. Not that there is anything in it that younger children shouldn't see, I just don't think that they would understand some of it--it would be a little deep for them. I appreciate that there was very little cussing (and no F-words at all!) and no sex scenes--just a fun movie for almost everyone.
Peter Fonda plays an old sheep herder whose daughter tricks him into coming to the city so she can get him to a doctor to see why he keeps fainting. Peter Fonda works with Chris Kristoffersen on the ranch. It is a story lifelong friendship between the two old sheep herders and the soft city slicker grandson that Grandpa kidnaps to teach him about real life away from the imaginary world of computers. It has its touching and sad moments, but enough plot to keep it going and interesting.
I enjoyed the humor and the story line acting was very good The part I don't like a horse dies in the story! That's the sad part. Watch to the very end. The three trouble makers get their justice in the end! I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did.
Loved it... Made in North Dakota.! Awesome. Enjoyed the movie. Done with heart. Enjoy stories that show life in North Dakota. I spose there ard men like the Wooly Boys. I enjoyed it. Never did get to see much of Western North Dakota. Grew up in the Eastern part of the state, and relatives had cattles farms there. Some had sheep but never really saw that many.
Minimal bad language, great cast, good story with a bittersweet climax. The bad guys were caricatures, but the rest of the cast was pretty well developed in a hurry.
Wasn't sure what to expect from this movie. It was at times sad but at other times the dialogue between Kris Kristofferson (Schuck) and Peter Fonda (Stoney) and Joseph Mazzello (Charlie) was absolutely hilarious. There are so many classic lines that could come from this movie. Not what I expected but very refreshingly funny and good. The sad parts will make you sad, but the funny parts really lighten up the movie. Would recommend to anyone wanting a good, fun, movie.
