I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good concept, poorly executed.

A Masterpiece!

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

I hadn't seen this movie in over 20 years, but it was on TV this weekend and I sat down and watched it. I remembered why I loved it. It's not rocket science or brain surgery, but it is solid entertainment with some really great performances. The story is simple enough: Girl meets boy, Girl marries boy, Girl wants to ride the new mechanical bull at the local many-acred honky tonk, girl loses boy, boy..... well, you know what I mean. The plot is simple but effective. I loved the dynamic between the 4 leads. They were excellent. Scott Glenn has never looked better and seethed with bad boy sexuality. He'd be great for a one- night hookup, but he's a little too dangerous and cruel to keep, but oh boy, was he sexy as hell. Call the movie silly, a guilty pleasure, something to be dismissed, but it is great entertainment and the performances of all involved made it something special. To me, anyway.

Urban Cowboy is about Bud Davis ala John Travolta and Sissy aka Debra Winger. Two southerners who meet up and share a night of passion in the infamous Gilles bar.Bud is an old fashioned blue collar working man. Bud was obviously raised with a set of ideals much older than himself. Bud is a nice guy, but a little cocky and hard headed and he does believe men to be stronger of the two sexes. It seems to bother him to no end when his girlfriend ''Later Wife'' Sissy does things that ''only a man should do'' like drive his truck and ride that mechanical bull at Gilles. This set of ideals eventually pushes Sissy away and into the arms of another man...Wes Hightower ''Scott Glenn'' Wes is a muscled up ex convict who acts as a third party to the love triangle between Bud and Sissy. One night while not in the best of mood Bud picks a fight with Wes, Bud being quite drunk takes a quick beating in the parking lot of Gilles, Later Wes injures Bud even further when the two of them get into a peeing match with the mechanical bull ''Which Wes is controlling''. Wes is also working on a scheme in which he plans to rob Gillies.Eventually things work out for the better...Bud and Sissy re-unite after Bud apologizes for his behavior, only to realize moments into their conversation that Sissy has been subjected to physical abuse from Wes...Bud loses his cool and attacks Wes inside of Gillies, This time Fueled by pure rage Bud beats up Wes pretty badly. Wes had been hiding the recently stolen cash from Gillies. Bud exposes this when he attacks him.Overall its a good movie worth watching 9/10

This film is one of my all-time favourites and I watch it every chance I get. For some strange reason hardly anyone I know will admit they like it - even though several of my copies have disappeared over the years! Every time I have introduced it to an Urban Cowboy virgin, their initial reaction (of course) being complete disdain and supposed hatred for the movie, they get hooked. Whether it be after the first time they see it, or the 5th - I know when I turn it on in the lounge and they hear it from the other room, they sheepishly sneak in have a peek only to complain 'Oh not that cr*p again!' Yeah right! soon enough they are sat down on the sofa and refuse to get up for any reason throughout the entire 2 hours and 13 minutes of it - just like myself.I am not a cowboy hat wearing, snoose spitting, mechanical bull riding hick and don't have to be any of those things to love and appreciate this movie. The human nature aspect of it is absolutely brilliant! The script, the southern drawl accent, the acting, the verbal and physical abuse - soap operas can only dream of using this sort of material and making it work with their 2nd & 3rd rate actors. Bud, Sissy and Wes are 3 of the most convincing characters ever portrayed on film - seriously. and I haven't even mentioned the unbelievably amazing soundtrack throughout the entire film. Johnny Lee rocks!!On reading a review on the internet i saw a quote 'Bud and Sissy are immature, self-absorbed, shallow, one-dimensional nitwits'. hmmm....and the problem with this is? Hahaha, brilliant commentary! Judge Judy seems to be the only other place on television one can find such stupidly irresponsible behaviour coming from grown people - true American entertainment at it's best!

This movie has it all, action, fighting, dancing, bull riding, music, pretty girls. This movie is an authenic look at middle America. Believe me, I was there in 1980. Lots of oil money, lots of women, and lots of honky tonks. Too bad they are all gone now. The movie is essentially just another boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back, but it is redeemed by the actors and the music. There is absolutely no movie with any better music that this movie, and that includes American Graffiti. It is a movie I watch over and over again and never get tired of it. Every time I watch it, I am young again, and it is time to go out honky tonking. The only reason I only gave it a 9 is because you cannot rate a movie zero, I do not feel you should rate one 10.
