Walk. Ride. Rodeo.

It's got a lot going for it: based on a true story, inspirational, horses, good supporting cast. (FYI - all the stunt riding after the accident was done by Amberley Snyder, herself, and the riding before the accident was done by her little sister, Autumn.) I give this movie a 7 (good) out of 10. {Drama}

Every now and then, we come across stories like this that inspire us and bring us little closer to the rhythm of life... I usually do not write reviews of uplifting and feel-good movies.. however, watching this one with a rider at home almost compelled me :-) story of a young girl's struggle to coming to terms with a bitter reality and her determination.. to some extent it does lack emotional aspect, depth of the situation and characterization a little, but stories like this deserve to be told.. Convincing performance by the protagonist..

I love country music but I think this movie let itself down by putting too many songs in. A lot of them were at inappropriate times at the scene would have been powerful without the music. Also the romance element seemed totally pointless and irrelevant. One minute they were strangers and the next we're just supposed to accept they are boyfriend and girlfriend? Virtually no development.

On the plus side, it does leave you with a "feel good" feeling and amazing to see the real Amberly Snynder doing her own stunts

I don't watch much rodeo in reality or movies, but my husband and I happened to see this. While there were a number of movie missteps, the inspiration was palpable. For me, Missi Pyle's performance was the best. Her struggles with being a mom of an injured daughter--wanting both the championship's for her daughter but knowing the setbacks that devastate--and feeling helpless at restoring her health moved me to tears more than once. I think this is one of Ms Pyles' best performances. It breaks the mold of her playing mean blondes or dumb blondes. This was truly enjoyable.

Watched this at the assisted living facility with some of the residents. We were supposed to watch a different movie, but this is the one that got queued up. It moved quickly--I wish they'd put more time reference in to know just how long it took her to recuperate, etc... One of the ladies watching had had back surgery years earlier so she knew all about the different therapies and procedures.

Now, it's cheesy in some spots, pretty predictable--especially if you know it's an autobiographical piece. I got a bit annoyed at the turn on a dime mood swings from despair to determination that seems to run through the film, but at the same time, I understand that it takes time to get determined and sometimes you've got to fail to succeed. I was hoping there was an update about her and the boy from Montana, but it wasn't at the end of the movie.

This is a good family story. It's real life scary in a spot or two, and I had to go get some tissues because no one had any. Inspirational without being preachy.
