I was gonna post this in the "Rate the last movie you saw" section, but considering it has a bit to do about Natalie Maines, I thought I would post it here. And not unlike the steer in the movie, this "Solo News and Gossip" section needs to get fattened up.
"Grand Champion weaves a lively tale of a spunky young boy, Buddy, and his prize-winning calf, Hokey, as they climb the ranks of Texas stock shows to win the coveted top award. When Buddy learns of plans to make Hokey the "guest-of-honor" at a barbecue, he and his friends decide to take matters into their own hands. Now, on the run from the authorities and news media, Buddy, Sister and Edgar must out-smart and out-run the adults if Hokey is to survive. Their adventures are both thrilling and hilarious, ultimately delivering a delightful, surprise ending. Featuring an impressive line up of Hollywood and Country Music Superstars, Grand Champion is an enchanting family classic."
It features music from the Dixie Chicks (Lil' Jack Slade) and Charlie Robison and also Natalie Maines and Charlie Robison are featured in small scenes. Natalie plays a big mouthed (I know, right? Shocker!) yet funny radio DJ named Fiona, and Charlie plays a Texas Ranger. Nat is funny in her big scene and even funnier when you listen to her a little later on when she's talking on the radio in the background when the mother is cooking. It's okay Fiona, I have a hard time pronouncing Cinnamon, too. And I must point out that according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), this is the only thing Natalie has ever acted in, not including the voice overs she has done alongside Martie and Emily in a couple of animated TV shows. You know the ones! Julia Roberts and George Strait also have small roles. George plays himself. I'm assuming Julia accepted the small role to help bring some attention to the film considering the fact that her niece, Emma Roberts (Meet the Millers, Scream 4), is in it. Her sister, Lisa Roberts Gillan, is also in it.
Here is a part of Natalie's big scene:
