    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.

    What a Ride!

    This one tugs right on the old heartstrings. A docudrama about a retired bull rider who ends up with a family crisis that pushes him to ride again, I wasn't sure what to expect going into it, but got plenty out of it. I'm not much of a rodeo fan, but I was fully invested and equally nervous and cheering every time he sat on a bull. Produced by Angel Studios, whose goal is to include some religious faith and wholesome moral values in every film they release, this movie is inspiring and uplifting in a way that doesn't require much effort on the part of the audience, but just flows along naturally. Very good.

    Heartwarming Family Film

    The whole family loved it! 3 generations respecting the same film is something to celebrate. Heartwarming story that feels real in your heart, even if a little bit is a slight stretch from practicality. You can't help but want to cheer and pray for this family. Good laughs and good tears. I didn't want to take a bathroom break for fear of missing some great lines. You don't need to be religious to enjoy this film, but it is nice to see the reality of faith being tested, lost, and found again. What seem like the darkest moments can bring us into the brightest light. Truly a great message, but stands alone as a good movie simply for plot and characters.

    Worth the 8 seconds.

    The Last Rodeo From the start of the film to the end. You were always rooting for Neal McDonough's character Joe Wrainwright to succeed. This Mixed up family drama tells a heart felt story of a father and a grand father doing the right thing

    His co star and army Buddy Mykelti Williamson (Charlie Williams) has not been in a better role since Forest Gump. Charlie and Joes relationship really moves you.

    There is more to this film than Bull Riding

    Christoper McDonald steps out of his villain Stereotype and makes you see another side of his acting talent if you don't need as much explosions this summer. Take your family to the Last Rodeo. You will be glad you did.

    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.

    • Goofs
      When Sally texts Joe, the text bubble is green on Sally's phone which is the color of SMS messaging. When Joe receives the text, the bubble is blue which is Apple messaging. Since Joe and Sally both use Apple devices, the text bubble should be blue on both phones.
