Littleton Coop Presents: Farmer of The Year

Directed by Vince O’Connell & Kathy Swanson; 103 min., NR

When Hap Anderson, a widowed 83-year-old Minnesota farmer who thinks he’s still quite the ladies’ man, sells his family farm, he finds himself adrift and staring a short future in the face. Driven by the possibility of showing up with an old flame and impressing his old army buddies, he sets out in a dilapidated Winnebago to attend his 65th WWII reunion in California with his directionless and unreasonably self-confident granddaughter, Ashley. Along the way they begin to understand and appreciate each other as individuals while discovering that being young and being old, aren’t all that different. “Farmer of the Year suggests there’s no right time in life to stop growing.” —Margot Harrison, Seven Days
