Cowgirls 'n Angels

I took my 12-year-old daughter and her five friends as a birthday treat at a theater in Omaha. Well, now they all want to be trick riders, which is pretty cute. Fun to watch them stand on a hay bale doing the hippodrome. The movie really affected us. I could tell that it's not a real high budget film, but the emotions that it portrays are so powerful. And the performances are very genuine and believable. My girls love Bailee Madison and they all thought this was her best performance so far in her career. As a father it is a great film for fathers and daughters to watch together because that is basically what it is about. We highly recommend the film. And what's really nice is that it's appropriate for everyone in the family.

I recently had the opportunity to screen this sweet family movie. 12 year old Bailee Madison is the adorable (and yes, "feisty and rebellious") main character who is driven to find the daddy she has never known. She talks to a poster she has of Walker (remember the Texas Ranger? smile...I had to explain who he was to my 8 year old...) on her bedroom wall. In her search to "belong" she is taken in by the Sweethearts of the Rodeo. Here she finds a safe place of unconditional acceptance and begins to discover that her color in "God's crayon box" is not determined by anyone else...nor is it just "clear" ☺. Happy watching!

I loved this movie the first Cowgirls N' Angels it was a great movie. Everything I've seen Bailee Madison in so far I have liked like this movie & the Christmas movies I've seen her in. As I myself grew up as a foster child I like how Ida found her natural talent & a whole different new group of good family & friends. I am an animal lover my self I grew up on a farm in Northern Virginia before my great uncle died when I was 11 which is when I started going through the system of foster care & group homes so we had lots of animals so I like any movies that has lots of animals. This is a great movie.

I was lucky enough to attend a screening with my 2 daughters and wife in Arkansas. I can tell you from a dad's perspective this movie is a winner in all aspects. It had my wife in tears, my kids mesmerized, and me impressed. I normally walk in with very little expectations from a children's film, but this movie delivered. There is an amazing heart breaking scene between Ida and her mom that I still can't forget. There are several different story lines playing out throughout the movie so there is something for everybody. It also has good lessons for kids, Ida sort of becomes a strong young women at the end, while still remaining a kid.

Delivers on the promise of being a family movie! After feeling duped by Hollywood for what seems like forever, this really did appeal to and was enjoyed by my whole family. Appreciated relationship between older and younger generations - scenes with James Cromwell and Bailee Madison are truly fantastic. Can't recall any recent films that convey this type of relationship in such an endearing way. Would like to see more films with them as co-stars, I think this film discovered a perfect match. Well rounded cast, and thought Alicia Witt's performance as the mom was sincere and liked that her character was not candy coated as so many moms are usually portrayed. Saw the film with my daughters and their cousin who is a middle-school boy. Wasn't sure what he would think, as it seemed like it may be geared toward girls, but he had tears in his eyes! No big explosions or special effects to get in the way, just a wholehearted, enjoyable, family film. Looking forward to seeing it again.
