Cringefest. There must really be a desperate need for programming because this is one of the worst written and worst acted things I have ever seen. There's really no point in either trying to explain it or dissect it. Every note rings wrong. It's bad in the way "Space 1999" used to be bad.... you wonder how such a thing could get as far as a pilot episode without being strangled in its crib

I could only sit through half of it. After the characters were introduced, and the context set I found that I didn't care about them at all. Also, how many mechanical bull riding scenes can you watch? The characters have some charm, and many of the actors have undeniable charisma. But they are not compelling to watch and the story is uninvolving because it is so shallow and by the numbers. I am not a country music fan, but I found that I liked a lot of the music in the film. No doubt, this is due for a reboot. With "Urban Cowboy" now being a bunch of "diverse" inner-city thugs who are avid Lil Nas X fans. (that is intended as a joke, but I wouldn't bet against it)

I love this movie. I saw it when it first came out in the early 80s oh, it is a very effective time capsule as well as an enjoyable 90 minutes of Cinema. Good characters, witty dialogue and simple but effective special effects. It's not Back to the Future oh, but it is funny in the same vein if considerably darker.
