Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
thighslap No wonder the horses needed beer and men whiskey. Save your hard earned dollars and don't buy this. The jokes are forced, the tale tall and limp and the acting, well, what were you thinking at the time, Toby? It's a big quote, but I'll make it -- this is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The problem with this is the too quick need to cash in on the moderate success of Broken Bridges. In that movie, Keith shone as an actor -- sensitive and likable, with a story that warmed the heart and kept the viewer interest glued. But this movie proves that maybe, and I hope I'm wrong,Keith is a one movie star. It was bad. Everything about it had a smell -- just like the fat dog in the cast, who endears viewers by farting. Pleeeeassssse!Toby Keith can do better. Then again, maybe he should been a cowboy.
gavin6942 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).
rys86 Living Nashville, my roommate and I expected there'd be a little bit of a crowd at the matinée during this film's opening week. If nothing else, the industry would support it, right? Well, we were the only two there, aside from some random guy in the front row that probably wandered into the wrong theater.In a nutshell, the script is nothing but good ol' boy humor, which is tolerable, up to a point. The pace of the movie is inconsistent-- sometimes too quick and at other times painfully slow; the storyline itself reminds me of a high school student screenplay. Toby, a down-to-earth, charming southern fella, is a cop of a small, southern town. His partner is a redneck Barney Fife with a dog that farts when trouble draws near. Sounds like a winner, right? The "real" story unfolds when Toby's girl gets kidnapped by Mexican druglords. On the way to the border, Toby's car breaks down, and he must stop and seek mechanical help from a bohemian traveling circus. After another painful 45 minutes, they make it to Mexico to face the druglords, and you can probably guess the outcome.The reason for this film's limited release may have been because Toby's previous film, Broken Bridges, barely grossed $250,000. Toby really should just stick to music videos.
Jim P My wife and I are huge TK fans. When he was in the 'burgh last week telling the concert goes about the movie, we thought "what the heck, lets check it out." We should have been tipped off by the completely empty theater, but we figured, its 7:00 on a Monday night so maybe they're just really slow. Wrong-o. Toby, you write great songs and your singing is fantastic, but you need to get as far away from Hollywood as you can. I'm not sure if the acting was so bad it destroyed the writing or if the writing was so bad it couldn't be acted, but whatever the reason, this movie was just plain bad. On the sneak preview show on CMT, the stars/writers Toby and Rodney kept referring to it being like Cannonball Run. Having seen the Cannonball movies, I should have seen it coming, but the Cannonball movies would be Oscar material compared to this. I would have given it a 1 but there was one funny scene. Other than that, I say again save your $8.50 and watch it on CMT in 3 months.
