 DVD Verdict Review - Urban Cowboy
What Urban Cowboy brings to the table is a honky-tonk flavor, a bit of cowboy cool, and some great Texas-style jams by the likes of the Charlie Daniels Band, Bob Seger, Boz Scaggs, Bonnie Raitt, Kenny Rogers, Linda Ronstadt, and others.
It is plausible to characterize Urban Cowboy as a honky-tonk Saturday Night Fever, which adds a certain tinge of exploitation to the proceedings.
Though Urban Cowboy drags in parts, doesn't ever really surprise, and doesn't have too many peaks and valleys, it is a solid romance with fine performances and great music.

 Talkin' Broadway Review: Urban Cowboy
Urban Cowboy's characters and story aren't compelling enough to substitute for the suspension of disbelief required to make the (necessarily) slow-moving mechanical bull seem threatening.
But the songs in Urban Cowboy are a hodgepodge of offerings, some from the film, some written specifically for the show, and some assembled from still other songwriters, with almost all used haphazardly and devoid of dramatic value.
Casting Sally Mayes as Bud's tough but loving Aunt may have been the production's biggest misstep as her mere presence in any scene is an uncomfortable reminder that almost no one else in the cast has stage presence to speak of.

I found it fascinating to write, as cowboys and their image was a major part of my life growing up.
