The Man Who Shook the Hand of Vicente Fernandez

Loved it!
This movie is one that I'd like to watch more than once. It is funny, entertaining, inspiring, and one I'd recommend to anyone! It's a uniquely creative film that left a few tears in my eyes. Must see!

The Last Western
Rex is s a retired DJ who feels like he's a failure because he never fulfilled his dream of getting the lead role in a Western. After a back injury lands him in a nursing home, his obsession with all things cowboy seems to come to life. There's a villainous doctor trying to take advantage of a pretty nurse and an old bully whose son owns the place who calls all the shots. Corners are cut, employees are taken advantage of, and both the residents and the staff are praying for a hero. They find it an unlikely and sometimes grumpy old man. Its takes a while for Rex and the staff to warm to each other, but once they learn he met and shook the hand of a local celebrity back in his radio days, he becomes a living legend and he stands up to doctors and old bullies alike.

I liked this movie more than I expected to. I thought it was cute the way they tied life in the nursing home into Rex's cowboy obsession. Mr. Walker and his henchmen ride around on their scooters instead of horses...
