There's poorly written, and then there's inauthentically written. A cowboy movie without Save a Horse? Someone uses the word "y'all" like one time, and they said it like it wasn't even in English. Y'all I'm not even from a real rural town and we still got a day off for the stock show and our homecoming shirts literally quoted "Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy." I don't know how the administration didn't realize how dirty it is. Probably because they love the song, too.
Anyway, it IS like Footloose. But it's the opposite morals. The small town isn't conservative enough because the daughter - who is literally a 27 year old playing an 18 year old, mind you - can't eat cheeseburgers at her hearts content. Also, like, news flash. Rodeos DO violate animal rights. The dad in this movie is literally correct 100% of the time. But the ranch hand is funny and the dad was in Starship Troopers, so for a terrible Harlequin romance it does the job.
3/10, passable if you bring your own Big & Rich song and plenty of wine.
