Critics Consensus

The Last Rodeo is a predictable yet heartfelt family drama elevated by earnest performances and old-fashioned charm, though its overly safe storytelling keeps it from breaking new ground.

Audience Says

With a punchy Neal McDonough on the saddle, The Last Rodeo is a wholesome ride for the entire herd.

“The Last Rodeo” may not be bodacious, but it’s a satisfying ride.

Rated: 3/4

This thoroughly predictable but undeniably engaging faith-based drama is an inoffensively old-fashioned entertainment that, with only minor tweaking, could pass for a Walt Disney Studios release of yore.

If the characters aren't three-dimensional and the plot is so predictable it creaks into motion by the five-minute mark. you haven't done the work necessary to pull in your audience. You've got to give us something to hang our cowboy hats on.

The Last rodeo is about a dangerous sport with a lead who has to find the courage and fortitude to once again reign supreme.

If you’re craving a film with a wholesome message and a dose of cowboy spirit, The Last Rodeo is a worthwhile ride—just don’t expect it to win the championship belt.

The acting was not there! But the movie isn’t bad. The most disappointing thing is that they hint at, but fully never deliver on a spiritual redemption arc…

Good movies to me are judged by the ability for them to garner an emotional response, and if they are predictable. This movie had great acting, besides Billy Hamilton, who couldnt act at all. The only reason for 4.5 instead of 5, is because the ending felt rushed. Great story, great acting (for the most part), thought provoking, and heartwarming.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Meaningful on many levels, showing characters who actually achieve character growth - and keeping family and close friendships in the foreground as the plot challenge develops.
