Despite its generally genial, boys-will-be-boys air, there are a few scenes and storylines that lodge in the mind unpleasantly.

Even ticketbuyers with a hearty appetite for hayseed humor may be repulsed by the coarse cornpone tomfoolery of Beer for My Horses.

Boxoffice Magazine

Michael Salomon traffics in easy plot points like kidnapped damsels and land-grubbing farm barons (Barry Corbin), paired with casual sexism, copious booze and uncomfortable bigotry.

Rated: 2.5/5

American Profile

A hayseed hodgepodge of clichd plotting, racist stereotyping, vulgar humor, cartoonish acting, clumsy drama and shameless product placement.

Rated: 1/5

Good lord, even the poster tagline is repugnant - "Vigilante justice - it's a blast!"

I love Toby Keith’s music. It’s still sad he’s gone. Now, regarding with this movie, I remember getting the DVD from the library and I don’t think I payed attention and just turned it off. The editing and camerawork are terrible. I just researched the reception and I can now understand why this film didn’t do well. I have no plans on seeing his other movie “Broken Bridges” and I think both of his films should’ve been rated R.
