Plot Summary:Texas cattleman Opie Bedloe comes to Maine to visit his son Joe, a college instructor, and his wife Connie in the hopes of persuading Joe to give up his teaching career and come back to Texas and take over the ranch. When Opie finds out that Connie, who is expecting a baby, can not afford the steaks she yearns for on Joe's salary, Opie, who believes that pregnant women gotta have meat, arranges for the local butcher, Spangenberg to cut his prices in half (with Opie paying the difference) so that Connie can have the meat she desires.
二流剧本碰上三流导演的后果么。此片既不是交恶父子修复关系的家庭剧也不是富二代在面包理想之间做选择的励志剧，而是一部关于美国人有多能吃肉的纪录片。
