Roped (2020)
Weak
Disappointing movie compared to its potential. The first 30 minutes are particularly poor. It's a Hallmark-like romantic comedy film with repeated themes, obvious predictability and soap opera dialogue, which is fine if you're into that. The character of Colton Burtenshaw is developed relatively well but this is where it ends. Character substance, or lack thereof, in every other character, including the female lead Tracy, creates a ripple making simple themes distasteful. For example, when the supposed vegetarian orders a cheeseburger simply to rebel against her animal activist father, her younger brother then following her lead, it comes across as a crusade for anti-vegetarianism. It is a shame because it could have been a pro rodeo film without having to villainise animal activists.
