Strong and Moving!
i must have seen a different film!!
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This film was recommended to me years ago and I wish I had of watched it sooner. Before I really say anything, I'd like to mention that if you have something against 'cowboys' or 'country life' then don't watch it. Its about cowboys, bull riding, horses, country life, country jokes and yes some of it is crude. The acting is brilliant, the story line is strong and true to the real story of Lane, with casting that really complements the story. It is a 90's film so its dated, but this only makes it seem more honest and true. The country lifestyle is shown well and I guess this is part of the reason a lot of people don't like it - country jokes and country boys are often crude and seemingly disrespectful, and for someone who doesn't really understand it the 'redneck' stereotype can certainly sway opinion. This has to be one of my favorite films despite how sad it is. It really does pull on the heartstrings. It helps that Luke perry is great looking in this film. Cowboy Up!
This movie is a great tribute to Lane Frost.This brings out the best in any movie viewer and it makes us take a look at what's important.Get this movie today, but don't forget the box of tissues.The acting, music, and directing of this movie adds to the overall effect.Luke Perry is at his best in this movie.I especially like the montage at the end of the movie-it brings out feelings and realizations that anything can happen at any time.I bought this movie to watch over and over again.
I have probably seen this movie at least 50 times. I love rodeo, grew up going to rodeo's and rode equestrian and did shows. This movie probably isn't for someone who doesn't like rodeo's or a love story. Break out the tissues for several scenes. This movie and story line does a great job telling one mans passion for what he loves and how (almost) nothing can stop him. It also plays strongly on the father-son relationship. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys action films, romance films, and it is somewhat suspenseful. There's not much more to say but go see it! I guarantee if you like rodeo this movie is for you.
This is a great sports movie. And frankly, I think it's better than John Avildsen's other sports movie, Rocky (1976) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075148/combined .A story about a country boy turned world champion bullrider. It is about time, is all I can say. Lane Frost was a great cowboy, and he died doing what he loved. I have watched the real thing, and these boys deserve some real credit out there, doing what there doin.I just hope that some of the proceeds of this film went to the cowboys who need it. When Lane Frost died, a big part of PBR died along with him. I salute him for what he loved to do. At my school, we always watched this movie in our FFA class.It is definitely a favorite of mine, because, for one thing, it is much better than a lot of westerns you see these days. This movie is also a great love story between Lane and his wife, Kellie. If you love westerns, or romance movies, this one here is for y'all. I give it 9 of 10.
