The Cowboy and the Blonde

The Cowboy and the Blonde is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy set in the world of Hollywood filmmaking. Bronc-busting rodeo rider Tex Reilly (played with boisterous charm by Tim McGraw) is plucked from the dusty plains of Texas and thrust into the glamorous world of Hollywood, where he is cast as the leading man in a new film about a singing cowboy. His co-star is the beautiful but temperamental blonde actress Gloria Delmont (played with biting wit by Kate Hudson), who is used to getting her way. The film chronicles their clashing personalities as Tex tries to navigate the tinsel town and Gloria struggles to adapt to the rough-and-tumble world of rodeo riding. The film's humor lies in the juxtaposition of two people from vastly different worlds, and the undeniable chemistry between McGraw and Hudson makes their sparring scenes electric. Director Adam McKay keeps the film moving at a brisk pace, and the supporting cast, including Billy Bob Thornton as Tex's crusty old rodeo mentor and Ann-Margret as Gloria's overbearing agent, provide plenty of laughs. The Cowboy and the Blonde is a fun and light-hearted comedy that provides plenty of laughs and a feel-good ending.
