Plot
The Greening of Whitney Brown follows the misadventures of Whitney Brown (Sammi Hanratty), a privileged and popular Philadelphia teenager whose world is upended when her parents, Henry (Aidan Quinn) and Joan (Brooke Shields), experience sudden economic problems that necessitate a family move to Whitney's grandparents' old farm in the country. There, far from her dizzying world of shallow girlfriends, endless parties and school pressures, she finds a new best pal: Bob, a beautiful and spirited Gypsy Vanner horse owned by her new neighbor Dusty (Kris Kristofferson), a crusty rancher who turns out to be her estranged grandfather. Through her new relationships with Bob, Dusty and her parents, Whitney rediscovers what it means to respect not only nature and her family, but also someone very special she had almost lost touch with: herself. She gets invited to a "hoedown" by two girls who saw Whitney's hand sewn dress but Whitney ruins her chances when she dresses us for a "rodeo". Her mom goes to Boston to meet with her husband who got an interview and Whitney stays with her grandfather. She sneaks out and eventually gets to her old school's fall formal. She straightens everything out stating the one of her supposed BFFs told lies to everyone to become the "it" girl. The family then decides to stay at their grandfather's house with Bob.[2]
