Buck – 5

When a documentary maker sets out to chronicle someone’s life, he or she never knows if something dramatic will occur that will make the finished documentary exciting, emotional, or at least interesting. In this case, the story of horse trainer Buck Branaman, nothing happened and the result is, frankly, boring. If watching horses in a ring was your turn-on, then maybe this would rise to a 7, but for me the only highlight came during the credits, when Buck’s adoptive mother told a joke.
