The Last Rodeo 2025 Movie Review
Joe, a widower and former rodeo legend, lives a quiet life in Texas, haunted by his past alcoholism and a career-ending injury that strained his relationship with Sally. When Cody (Graham Harvey) is diagnosed with a brain tumor, and insurance covers only 40% of the $150,000 surgery cost, Joe enters the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) Legends Championship in Tulsa, a high-stakes competition with a $750,000 prize. At 50, he’s the oldest contestant, facing younger riders like real-life PBR star Daylon Swearingen. Along the way, Joe reconnects with Charlie, confronts his past, and seeks to heal his bond with Sally, with subtle faith elements guiding his journey.
The film has received mixed reviews, with a 69% score on Rotten Tomatoes from 32 critics and a 61/100 on Metacritic, indicating “generally favorable” but not exceptional feedback. Audiences, however, have embraced it, giving it a 95% Popcornmeter rating and an “A” CinemaScore, reflecting its appeal as family-friendly entertainment.
Neal McDonough delivers a heartfelt, stoic performance, channeling a Clint Eastwood-like cowboy with vulnerability and grit. His chemistry with Williamson, who brings warmth as the Bible-reading Charlie, adds a buddy-movie charm. Sarah Jones is understated yet compelling as Sally.
