"It's also politically correct."

The key to institutional recognition in Hollywood but not necessarily box office success. This will be one of those critically acclaimed (pardon the pun) 'sleepers'. As for me, I'll stick with Pike Bishop and Dutch Engstrom.

The homo lobby is going to milk this for all its worth.

They could have made it even more politically correct if they had only used the song "Interracial Cowboy Homo Kind Of Love" by Reverend Horton Heat as inspiration and cast an African American in one of the lead roles. And just think of the increased audience potential if they would have cast some popular rap star as one of the lovers?

It's no wonder sales of movie tickets have been declining since Hollywood can't seem to recognize obvious ways to appeal to larger potential audiences. How difficult would it be to modify the script to make one of the roles that of the troubled urban youth sent to work on a ranch to escape problems in the city?

With only minor tweaking the producers could have hit box office gold, but I'm afraid their short-sightedness will leave them with a critically successful, box office failure.
