Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Amateur movie with Big budget

A Disappointing Continuation

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

This movie was obviously not for me. It was so full of clichés that it should have been an afternoon lifetime movie. The acting of the little girl really stunk and the characters were just cardboard. The father who abandoned them is a fine character and says he does not know why he and her mother had problems. The reform school girl runs off with the guy from the rich family with whom she finds true love and is welcomed back to the rodeo riders at the end. No one holds a grudge about her losing the contract. The sponsors return and the main old man gets over his illness. Do not be afraid, nothing bad happens, in fact nothing happens. If this is your world view than you are welcome to it. Not even my kids would like this movie.

I have waited forever to see this movie. Seen a preview and knew it was something I wanted to see. Unfortunately I don't believe it ever made it into our local theater so as soon as it was on DVD I rented it and after watching it and loving it I will be going out to buy it not only for my house but for my moms as well. It is great family entertainment. Very real emotions and I cried and laughed and loved it. The cast is the best around they did a stand up job. I wouldn't have changed a thing about it. You don't have to be a horse lover to love this, but I am and that was just a perk. I hope to see this cast together in the future, hopefully more movies like this will be made.

I enjoyed this movie. I love all the supporting actors and actresses. My kids are not really rodeo kids, but this movie appealed to them all. I would truly recommend this movie to everyone. I had to wait to buy the movie on blue ray, but it was well worth the wait. I love James Cromwell. He is one amazing actor. I know that the reason I saw this was because I am a huge Jackson Rathbone fan, and he did indeed make this movie well worth watching. If your kids love horses, this movie is definitely worth the time to watch. Alicia Witt plays a good mom that does the best that she can with her daughter. Bailee Madison is a special young lady. I hope to see more from her.

Cowgirls 'N Angels is wonderful because each person walks out loving it but for perhaps different reasons. The script creates a story and characters and that viewers will identify with and care about. The actors are fantastic. I had tears running down my face several times both of joy and of shared frustration with Ida (Bailey Madison) and her mother (Alicia Witt). The soundtrack is beautiful. There are not many movies out that appeal to all generations and both genders. I hope the movie gets wider distribution so more audiences can enjoy a well written, heartfelt, story driven movie. Timothy Armstrong succeeded in writing and directing a movie that can inspire real life conversations when you walk out of the theater.
