Movie Reviews

The New York Times - 9/10 by Vincent CanbyUrban Cowboy is the most entertaining, most perceptive commercial American movie of the year to date. Here is a tough-talking, softhearted romantic melodrama that sees a world that is far more bleak than the movie, or the characters in it, ever have time to acknowledge.
Newsweek - 9/10 by David AnsenDirector James Bridges has ably captured the atmosphere of one of the most famous chip-kicker hangouts of all: Gilley’s Club on the outskirts of Houston.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Gary ArnoldThere's no denying that this film ends up as a counterfeit endorsement of the so-called simpler so-called values.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Bruce McCabeGlenn's Wes is the only intriguing one. He's the only real cowboy in a film that's in no way capable of handling him.
Associated Press - 8/10 by Bob ThomasAs in Saturday Night Fever and Grease, [Travolta] plays a blustery, not-too-bright, young man with an electric personality that is fascinating to watch.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenOnly a couple years removed from his screen super-success in Saturday Night Fever, Travolta struts his way through Urban Cowboy’s modern-West parable about machismo, cowboy manqué, and mechanical bulls. Travolta captures some of the confusion of a little big man on the new prairie, Debra Winger provides a vixenish challenge to his manhood, and Scott Glenn plays the guy in the figurative black cowboy hat.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 6/10 by Jay ScottUnapologetically trashy, Urban Cowboy is a virtual pageant of high redneck style—there are lots of bootleg trousers, halter tops, shag haircuts, and feather-brimmed Stetsons—and Winger is fun as the unapologetically trashy gal who just wants to bag herself a real cowboy. Unfortunately, Urban Cowboy is dull one time too often to qualify as entertaining kitsch.
Las Vegas Review-Journal - 6/10 by Carol ClingPop-culture time capsule dominated by Winger's breakthrough performance.
The New Yorker - 5/10 by Pauline KaelAn absurdly upbeat romantic vehicle for John Travolta. The film-makers appear to believe that the moviegoing public craves a reassuring love story, at any cost. This film ends up as s counterfeit endorsement of the so-called simpler so-called values.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Judith MartinIt's a little like watching Hsing-hsing and Ling-ling attempting to mate, to see John Travolta and Debra Winger, as the simple couple in Urban Cowboy, spend over two hours trying to find a modus vivendi in a mobile home. They're sweet and it's amusing that they have so much trouble doing the obvious, but after a while you get exasperated and wish they would just figure it out and do it.
