Audience Member Kevin Sorbo made this movie tolerable. Overall bad acting by the majority of the cast. This is a great movie to make fun off while watching. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Simply one of the best motion pictures I've ever seen. Keeble Flan Dorter's work on music and sound is unparalleled, and his brilliance shines through as ever in this film. George Clooney's cameo as Gabe, the drunken (and tauntingly flatulent!) nerf herder is an unexpected delight. Rodeo Girl presses and challenges gender boundaries and conceptions more so than other classics in this genre, like Herbie the Love Bug and Rob Schneider's magnum opus, The Hot Chick. Kevin Sorbo's performance as the rodeo girl's father will leave you in tears and asking "where's my horsey dad?". The climax, when the prize-winning horse is tragically smashed to smithereens by a collapsing World War One-era dirigible, I cried so hard that I so literally pooped my pants. It took WEEKS to get all of the poop chunks out of the fabric. I know that my guests know that something isn't right about the couch, but what can I do? I asked my stupid boss for a raise to get a poop-less couch and he just told me it's fine and not to worry about it. Rodeo Girl changed my life. For example, I no longer trap and burn small animals in the alley behind my apartment on weekends. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member So I've never reviewed a movie before but this one really blew me out of the water so I thought i'd give it a shot. All of the others who said this was a bad production aren't kidding. I was amazed at the low quality of the film itself but also some b-roll made no sense at all. Besides that, this girl is supposed to be going to Michigan for the SUMMER. If you weren't aware people typically don't have to shuffle through a few inches of fallen leaves in a long sleeve shirt and jeans all summer. That seems like a scene that perhaps would take place in the fall, but nope not for this movie. Also I haven't noticed anyone pointing out the issue of the star horse of the movie, "lass" being called the incorrect pronouns multiple times throughout the film. I truly am not sure if this horse is a female or male at this point. I can also agree with other reviews about unlikelyhood of a horse trained for hunter/jumper to be able to make such a quick turn around and do barrels. There were definitely a lot of plot holes in this productions but it perhaps would be a fun movie to watch with your friends as a drinking game like "take a shot every time something makes no sense at all" or something like that. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I signed up for a R.T. account because of this "movie." The lighting, the acting, the whiny protagonist, the young men wearing mom jeans, and plot all give me hope that anyone can have their movie made. At some point, I mentioned to my daughter that this movie looks like it had been shot on an iPhone; her response: "no way, my iPhone takes better video than that!" That being said, my 11 y.o. enjoyed this movie (I'm now questioning my parenting - thanks Rodeo Girl.) Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not that great a movie. Was lacking something. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I need to roll up my sleeves. It will forever be a mystery as to why I decided to watch a movie entitled 'Rodeo Girl' but I did, and to say it was one of the worst decisions of my life is a complete understatement. There were so many things wrong with this movie and can't even keep track of them. First of all the plot and script are extremely flawed. The storyline is basic and boring to say the least. This movie was obviously made on a low budget but that is no excuse for the terrible acting and awful lighting and sets. I found the whole movie very confusing. I didn't understand how anyone's honeymoon could last four months, I mean who in the world can get off of work for that long. Also, who's mother would send their daughter to an estranged father while she went on a four month cruise? The answer is no one. And at the end of the movie they praise her for being a good mother. Pricilla's relationship with Sage was also confusing. They never say Sage's age but they do talk about how he is saving for veterinarian's school, and even at the end he goes to veterinarian's school. This means sage must be 17 or 18. Now, their relationship would be alright if their wasn't such an age gap. At the end of the movie they share a kiss which, if Sage was 18, this kiss would be ILLEGAL in the United States. Sage could be an actual sex offender for this kiss, and I find this disgusting and weird. In conclusion I am absolutely livid about this movie and I highly recommend that you don't waste 108 minutes of your life with this movie because you will NEVER be able to get it back.
