Customer Reviews

Grand Champion
Fun Family movie with a great cast. Emma Roberts is a future star and is delightful in this film. If you like the rodeo or want just good clean family fun this is a great film!

Good, clean fun for the kids!
As I watched this movie I couldn't help but remember my own "farm kid" shock of finding out where most of those calves we raised end up, and this movie kind-of lives out the fantasy of a kid's intervention and everything ending up okay in the end.
Great movie for the kids or family- nice and clean and just plain, simple fun! They don't try to complicate the storyline or adventure- so Mom & Dad, keep that in mind and don't over analyze it. Let the kids smile with the kids in the film as they frolick & play and enjoy the chase scenes with the "bad guy".
For myself, I specifically remember one particular shot of the steer, I believe it was as they entered an arena. Whoever decided on that shot...it was amusing & I liked it- you did good!!
There are movies geared for the younger kids and movies geared for adults- this one's geared for the kids. They'll laugh & they'll enjoy it.

Don't take it too Seriously
This movie is all about family and fun, while learning the lessons we sometimes encounter in life. Depending on the age of the viewer, all will take something away from it. My two year old embraces the music, the children starring in the film, and especially "that cow". I was touched by the love of this family working together and learning responsibility, while competing in livestock shows; something that my family does in real life. Take the movie for what it is...good hearted, fun, and sometimes just a little silly!
