I don't watch much rodeo in reality or movies, but my husband and I happened to see this. While there were a number of movie missteps, the inspiration was palpable. For me, Missi Pyle's performance was the best. Her struggles with being a mom of an injured daughter--wanting both the championship's for her daughter but knowing the setbacks that devastate--and feeling helpless at restoring her health moved me to tears more than once. I think this is one of Ms Pyles' best performances. It breaks the mold of her playing mean blondes or dumb blondes. This was truly enjoyable.
Review of Walk. Ride. Rodeo.
