Roped

Why did I watch this? I already hate 'romantic (comedy)' films. This one makes me even more cringe than the few I already know. The animals were playing their role great though.

First let's start off with pointing out this is a rated PG film so obviously it's made for families and most likely a younger demographic. It reminds me of the simple movies of yester year where there are no planet threatening robots destroying every building in site. It's a simple throwback love story where the two leads chemistry is obviously real as I read they married in real life. Sweat, enjoyable and perfect for the current times in which we find ourselves in constant chaos.

Why would a rodeo go to a town that is against rodeos? Why would a town that is against rodeos have rodeo grounds? Where do you find a small western town full of damned liberals?

Like many movies it is formulaic and cute, in the Hallmark spectrum, but I'm ok with that. A lot of movies today are just way more unnecessarily explicit than they need to be. Having a bland bowl of porridge is nice from time to time.

But man, it could have been so much better! I was all for a cowboy romance, but this was literally a G rated wannabe :( I was dissatisfied and a little disappointed after being quite excited. It was an easy watch with likeable characters, cute cowboys and cows... and I'm glad I've seen it because I really wanted to, but I won't be watching it again.

This movie is literally the country version of footloose. Instead of dancing being outlawed it's the rodeo.
