Review by Paul Salfen
This is Paul Salfen with your KLAK Movie Minute. In theaters this weekend is The Last Rodeo, the latest Angel Studios release to pull at your heartstrings and give you a little counterprogramming from Mission Impossible. This story follows a retired bullrider played by Neal McDonaugh, who risks his life to get back on a bull many years after a terrible accident to try and win some prize money to save his grandson who has a mountain of medical expenses and has put strain on his daughter. With a certain audience in mind and a leaning towards the faith-based, this one will hit home for many that would do anything for their family and lean on their faith and power of hope. While of course a little far-fetched, the heart is there and it’s a nice story that’s safe for the whole family and shows Neal’s power and has a big assist from Bubba Gump himself Mykelti Williamson and Fried Green Tomatoes director Jon Avnet. Free tickets are available from a pay it forward program so those who need to hear the message will certainly find it. That’s it for this week. Join me next week and every week for another Movie Minute right here on 97.5 KLAK, AMFM Magazine, and RECRD.
