After moving to Pasadena, Texas, country boy Bud Davis starts hanging around a bar called Gilley's, where he falls in love with Sissy, a cowgirl who believes the sexes are equal. They eventually marry, but their relationship is turbulent due to Bud's traditional view of gender roles. Jealousy over his rival leads to their separation, but Bud attempts to win Sissy back by triumphing at Gilley's mechanical bull-riding competition.

Some unintentionally funny (I think anyway) and melodramatic moments and even as someone who isn't a fan of honky-tonk music, that wasn't bad. However, it is fairly long and could've been cut down by a good 20-25 minutes, also, and I'm not PC (far from it), there were some cringe moments, making most of these characters pretty unlikable. **3.0/5**
