What a beautiful movie!

Masterful Movie

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

"Beer for My Horses" doesn't attempt to rise far above it's title. It's amusing comedy made for lovers of big trucks, big guns, and country music stars. Though the plot manages to stay intact, it's really more about who and what you're watching than it is about what you're learning.Though Keith makes some attempts at affection and dismay, most of the other characters stay in their boxes. Hard-headed sheriff, wise-cracking sidekick, and sneering villain. But what it lacks in innovation it makes up for in silly humor and fairly well-staged action.Honestly, if you're one of those "won't watch it unless it questions life itself" viewers, you won't like this. Which isn't surprising because you probably don't like much of anything.On a lazy Friday night with a six pack of beer, you'll probably be just fine laughing at the low-brow humor of this movie.

I read on the message boards the following line: "For the love of god, how did an angel like Claire Forlani end up in hell?" And I think that sums up my thoughts on this film.So, you give Rodney Carrington and Toby Keith the power to write a movie, named after a Toby Keith song, and directed by a guy who has done some Garth Brooks music videos. Throw in Willie Nelson, an arrow-launching Ted Nugent and David Allan Coe. I just don't know what to think anymore.The movie is absolutely stupid, and you may enjoy that if you need to turn off your brain or you've already seen every episode of "Bridezilla". I don't know what the political message here is... I'm sure it's convoluted and stupid, though, since that's what happens the second you associate with Nugent (a fine musician, an idiot otherwise).

I only rented this because of Rodney Carrington. His songs on Youtube are hilarious!!!!!! I didn't expect much and just hoped that there would be enough funny parts to pull the movie through. I was shocked at what I saw. Granted the movie is not going to win (or be nominated) for best picture, but it was original, and very entertaining. The story was far better than I expected, and I had some laughs. After watching it my wife asked me to buy her a copy of it for Christmas.If you see this show expecting a dumb comedy you will be pleasantly surprised. If you see it expecting it to be "picture of the year" you will probably be disappointed.

I like Beer for My Horses. The writing is very formula-driven. Rodney Carrington plays like he is Barney Fife in Mayberry; there are other Andy Griffith Show touches. Toby Keith smiles a lot; he doesn't convey much acting, but his droll demeanor provides a nice straight guy to the sight gags and Country star cameos.The setting is a small town, the topics are small town, and you find more likable people strolling through the story than you could imagine.But the story is nice. Warm, even. I didn't watch a story, so much as watch Rodney Carrington and Toby Keith making a story. Kind of like an extended comedy routine, rather than a movie comedy. But the experience is enjoyable.And I *want* to learn about Snake's sling.
