Accidental Texan

A "normal" movie, like it used to be all movies before this crazy times that we live these days...about what is really important: life as it is, good or bad, there's always a chance if you are still breathing. God bless!

It's a shame that today's films diverge so drastically, essentially serving as propaganda to push the big movie companies' social-political agenda.

Of course, anyone who signs up to Netflix, Disney+, and other background noise will find a thousand "problems" with this film, beginning with the subject, actor selection, and orthodox message portrayed. Let's be honest, there are no longer any decent films, with only one kid of good Hollywood production movie released each year... so let's be grateful that there are still "normal" films like this one. Don't look outside the box when watching this film, as its values remain within it.

Thomas Haden Church has been a favorite of mine since Wings, and he didn't disappoint in Accidental Texan! This movie shines with witty banter, heartfelt character stories, and great west Texas scenery. What's not to love about good old fashioned story telling? Rudy Pankow delivers the audience a tale of a young man trying to forge his own path is life, but realizes sometimes we need a little help from friends we meet along the way. We don't always realize who is going to go from being a casual acquaintance to a family we didn't know we always needed. A+ writing with wonderful acting and good cinematography!

I'm not a Texan but I lived there when I was 5 to 6 years old and again when I was 19 to 20. This movie is wonderful. Reminds me of my time ranch folks just like that real Cowboys wonderful people just like the ones fictionally portrayed here it's funny, touching and real. Thomas Aiden Church may be setting himself up to take all the Sam Elliott film roles if he keeps this up. The whole cast, including the young actor from Outer Banks, Rudy Pankow As well as Carrie-Anne Moss Really stand out in the whole cast is terrific. Special shout out goes to the great Bruce Dern Man, he has had a wonderful career with quite a final act from Nebraska to this movie to once upon a Time in Hollywood. That role was supposed to go to Burt Reynolds, but ends up being another feather in Derns cap... Really love this film.

As a West Texas girl, I knew I had to see this picture and so very glad I did! The cinematography was beautiful, the storyline refreshing (clean, funny at times, touching at others), acting was wonderful, music was incredible. I enjoyed every minute of this feel-good, kind of old-fashioned film where the audience roots for the good guys who aren't perfect, but earn our concern and care.

Sure, the "bad" guys and their ploys are a bit melodramatic but that's what makes this type of film fun. The good guys are a bit flawed and that's what makes us relate to them and like them. It's a new twist on the fish out of water theme, but I never anticipated what would happen next like we do in so many movies today. And what's a movie about Texas without an homage to Whataburger?

Highly recommend (both the film and Whataburger!).
