    Excellent FAMILY Movie

    Hard to find good family-friendly movies and The Last Rodeo didn't disappoint. A great message and storyline. The acting was fabulous. And Neal McDonough has the bod of a 20-year-old! We both had thoughts at the end about someone we've had a disagreement with and decided tonight to reach out THANKS TO THIS MOVIE! The actors were excellent, right down to Cody. I missed my Dad more than ever after watching this movie. How many times can I say movie? Another Angel Studios excellent movie. As Guild Members we appreciate the input we have on such movies. Great movie and look forward to many more by Angel.

    Great movie!!!

    I loved this movie!!

    I was expecting this movie to be pretty good, but it far exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated discovering the dynamics of each of the main characters relationships.

    The main 3 characters in the movie were strong actors and I was impressed with the way they made me believe the story. I got emotional a few times with the story, writing, and acting, but enjoyed some laughter as well.

    This is such an entertaining and heartwarming story of forgiveness, sacrifice, friendship and love, with just enough action.

    It is a perfect movie for a date night, a friends night out, or for the whole family!

    The Last Rodeo completes the ride

    The Last Rodeo is the kind of movie you've probably seen many times before, but it hits almost all the right notes and succeeds in providing a good story with emotion. There are three big things The Last Rodeo has going for it:

    1 Neal McDonough. He's immensely likable and although his character is a man of few words, what he does say is important.

    2) Faith-based movies often "shoehorn" in the gospel message, but The Last Rodeo incorporates faith in an organic manner. It's part of the story and feels natural. It also helps propel the story into a more emotional state without being cloying.

    3) The rodeo scenes are well done and actually build suspense. With each ride the stakes are raised, and to the movie's credit it doesn't tip its hand. We never know who's going to win - and who may not survive.

    The Last Rodeo is a well made movie with a positive message. There are a lot worse ways to spend a couple hours.

    Great film, great acting

    I loved the message and the story. Personal and family commitment is alive and well in real life. This is an exemplary example of what America is like.

    It has passion, drive and a reference ro the almighty that guides our daily lives. A great family film that all will appreciate.

    The actors are deeply involved in the story and it shows. Great action. Sequences, good sets and locations all top notch.

    I particularly liked story set in rural America, but it could apply anywhere. A lot of love an drive was displayed in the film. Angel Studios is the rising star and one to watch. Their films have been very inspiring.

    Great movie

    The Last Rodeo is an emotional powerhouse that takes the audience on a heart-wrenching journey of love, sacrifice, and redemption. At its core, this film tells the gripping story of a grandfather willing to risk everything-his dreams, his safety, and even his life-to protect his grandson. The movie is packed with intense highs and devastating lows, making for an unforgettable cinematic experience.

    The performances are nothing short of extraordinary, with the main character capturing the raw emotions of a man torn between duty and personal sacrifice. Every scene is infused with depth, from moments of thrilling action to intimate exchanges that reveal the unbreakable bond between family members.

    This movie had my wife screaming with excitement one moment and wiping away tears the next-something few films manage to accomplish so seamlessly. The emotional rollercoaster ensures that every viewer, regardless of age, finds a piece of their own story reflected on screen.

    Whether you're looking for gripping drama, heartfelt storytelling, or a movie that will stay with you long after the credits roll, _The Last Rodeo_ is a must-watch. Highly recommended for families-this is a story that speaks to the universal themes of love, resilience, and the unshakable ties that bind us together.
