The Worst Film Ever

Fantastic!

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

On my DVD copy of "Cowgirls an' Angels" there's a sticker that reads: "family approved by Dove". That's all you really need to know.Ida is a young girl who desperately wants to find her daddy. She is taken in by the Sweethearts, a group of travelling rodeo cowgirls who perform stunts while on horseback. Ida travels and performs with them and learns valuable lessons about life along the way. Aww.The most important aspect on such a premise working or not is a likable main character. In this respect, Bailee Madison was perfectly cast, it's like the role was written for her (it probably was). She gives a layered and interesting performance, and is a joy to watch. I enjoyed the film because of Madison, but also because I liked seeing some of the inner workings of the southern rodeo circuit. People go to the movies for many reasons, and one of them is to spend time in good company. I felt in good company here, I liked the characters and their respective story lines. At times the movie feels too "wholesome", but it's heart is always in the right place. I've never been to the south, but this film makes me want to pack my bags and go. Strange how movies can make you feel nostalgia for places you've never seen, and events you were never there for.

I will admit, I wanted to see this movie only for Jackson Rathbone. But because of my interest in him, I discovered a cute movie. Cowgirls 'n Angels is about a 12-year-old girl named Ida who joins a touring rodeo company called the Sweethearts in order to find her estranged father. Along the way, she learns about responsibility and the value of friendship.Bailee Madison stars as Ida Stanton. She gives a great performance as a girl on her own, not respecting authority who finds friendship where she least expects it. James Cromwell is the owner of the Sweethearts, a female rodeo touring company. I loved Cromwell in this role. He was authoritative when he had to be but also makes time for the girls. You can tell that he loves the Sweethearts with everything he's got.Alicia Witt is Elaine, Ida's mother. Elaine believes that all people involved with the rodeo are "lowlifes" because her husband was one. She forbids Ida to participate at first, and then changes her mind at the thought of money. Although I liked Witt in this role, I wish that she had more to do. She doesn't really ever understand Ida's desire to know her father, yet does a great job trying to keep her from meeting him. She allows Ida to be a part of the Sweethearts, but I don't believe she ever really understands her daughter.Dora Madison Burge is Kansas, one of the Sweetheart riders. She is instantly nice to Ida and the two form a bond. Burge shined when she had to make a decision about whether to stay with the Sweethearts or pursue love when it comes calling. Although I did not agree with her decision, I enjoyed watching her in this role and looking at her profile on IMDb, she is in hot demand.Jackson Rathbone is Justin, Kansas's boyfriend. Rathbone is originally from Texas, so it was no problem for him to speak with his Western accent. Although Justin does not have a lot to do in this film, every time he was on the screen, I smiled. Rathbone brings sweetness to Justin that makes you understand why Kansas chooses him over the rodeo. And with his cowboy hat and beard, Rathbone was very attractive. And I literally swooned when he tipped his cowboy hat.The rest of the cast also excelled in their roles. I did not find one person out of place and believed that the mean girls really were mean and the men that they met along the way were genuine cowboys. The acting was not over the top from anyone and I hope to see everyone in future roles.One thing I liked about this movie (besides the horses of course) was that it did not rely on special effects to enhance the story. While some movies nowadays spend millions on effects to make a poor story spectacular, Cowgirls 'n Angels relied on the plot and the acting itself to attract the audience. And of course, horses help too. I was nervous watching the film, worried that a horse would get hurt.Overall, Cowgirls 'n Angels was pretty good. There were times when I wanted to smack Ida for being so difficult and other times when I wanted to run off with Justin. A simple story with a message, I hope to see this movie again.

Great family film !!! I saw this film with my 7 yr old daughter over the weekend & we both enjoyed it. At first, we were very unsure as we'd never even heard about Cowgirls 'n Angels. But, there was no other choice at the movie rental kiosk so we took a chance. From the very start of the movie, we were drawn in by the storyline. The movie was very down to earth but not mundane. And, we both fell in love with Ida's character played by Bailee Madison who is one child actor we need to keep an eye on! She did an amazing job portraying the main character! We both highly recommend Cowgirls 'n Angels !!!!

"Cowgirls n Angels" was an outstanding movie! The cover makes the movie seem uninteresting, and makes it seem like the whole movie is about horses when the directors added many more themes for example, they showed how the little girls mom is never around for her and that the little girls is determined to find her dad, and many more. My whole family loved the movie. I am very picky when it comes to movies but this is by far the best movie I have ever seen. How determined Ida Clinton is to find her daddy is touching. It has its sad moments for example when Ida thinks she found her daddy but its a different guy with the same name. Ida Clinton was a great actress in this movie and all her movies she's in her real name is Bailee Maddison. She stars in a lot of great movies for example : Don't be Afraid of the dark, Just go with it, Cowgirls n Angels, she is also in Disney channel shows. This is a great movie and I would suggest it to family night hanging out with your friends any night this movie would be perfect for. The actors were great, the setting, everything.Moreover, this movie was an excellent movie. The actors were amazing Bailee Maddison (the lead role) was my favorite actresses. She played a dramatic role and a serious role and a sweet kind little girl role. She was truly amazing I have never seen such a young actor or actress with such amazing talent and passion. Bailee Maddison put a lot of effort into her role anyone could tell. My second favorite character is Terrance Parker his real name is James Cromwell. He finds Ida trying to ride a horse at night. He offers her to rise with the Sweethearts a group of ladies who ride horses and do stunts on the horse. He takes care of Ida when they go to travel to different places to do shows with the horses. Ida's mom is against Ida ridding horses because Ida's dad rode and Ida's daddy abandoned her and her mom still has a lot of anger against him. Eventually Ida's mom let her ride with the sweethearts because Mr.Parker mentioned how you get paid to be a sweetheart and Ida's mom couldn't refuse because they need money. Those are most definitely my favorite actors/actresses. Additionally, this movie was also great because of the the setting/theme. The movie Cowgirls n Angels had a great setting. The directors choose great places to play the movie for example they did part of it in Kansas and Oklahoma. I think those are great places for this movie because they are country type states. I think it's great how the movie involved romance because it changing the movie up. It shows that there's a lot to life. This movie could be very inspirational to people. How can it be interesting? Great question, this movie could be an inspirational movie to people because in the beginning it focuses on Ida's family life and her family life isn't great. Her mom is never home and her dad just abandoned her and her mom, and in the end Ida finds her dad and everything turns out fine. The movie leaves you guessing because the directors don't say what happens between Ida's mom and dad if they get married or what? It leaves you to make your own ending to the movie. This is another reason this movie is amazing.However, one might not want to watch this movie because its about horses and country people. A lot of people don't like country style stuff. This movie does involve a lot of country style stuff but you get so into the movie you won't even care about the fact that its country. One might also worry that the movie will get boring because its just about this little girl. I had the same thought but the directors just throw something new into it and it changes the story in a good way. A lot of people might think that this movie doesn't involve anything important when the movie involves a lot of real life situations. A lot of movies don't but the directors in this movie did. One of the sweethearts had an alcohol addiction and she ends up drinking and one of the main sweethearts gets after her for it and it shows that everyone is imperfect in ways. Those might be some worries people have.Furthermore, this movie is amazing! I can not elaborate anymore. This movie involves so much it's hard to say. The directors involved, love, addictions, loosing family, happy, and so much more. A significant part in this movie is when Ida finds her dad with her mom but she thinks it is just another man her mom is trying to "replace her dad" so Ida ran away thinking it was just another man, when Ida's mom finds Ida she explains to her it is Ida's dad. I feel that was very significant. This movie is great and I suggest it to everyone!I'm conclusion, the actors/actresses, the setting, the genre was amazing! I have never seen such a great movie. "Cowgirls n Angels" involves a lot of real life. Ida used to say "My daddy always says there's a difference between Cowgirls m Angels angels can't ride as well." I hope you watch this movie or at least see the trailer to get an idea on what it's like.
