“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.

Having faith in what one is doing is the center of this film. This tugs at the heart strings.

The film may look the part of a rugged, nostalgic Western, but the narrative scaffolding is too jumbled and self-indulgent to deliver on its emotional promise.

Rated: 2/5

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.
