John Travolta traded in disco duds for a cowboy hat in this corny love story about a working man who breaks up with his girlfriend (Debra Winger), then plays out their relationship's turmoil inside a huge honky-tonk called Gilley's. The story essentially parallels Travolta's prior hit film, Saturday Night Fever, in its blend of ordinary life, incomplete relationships, and personal pride channeled into niche stardom at a neighborhood club. But for all its regional flavor, Urban Cowboy never enjoys the immediacy and urgency of Fever, and after awhile you can't help but feel bemused by the macho silliness of ongoing "mechanical bull" competitions (basically a faux rodeo device only brave men can master at great chiropractic risk). The Travolta-Winger relationship is pure soap, as well. But this film really is a kind of time-capsule piece on a lot of levels--notably Travolta's career and late '70s Western kitsch--and while it's silly, it's certainly not disagreeable. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of Urban Cowboy
LOOKING FOR LOVE IN ALL THE WRONG PLACES I am someone who would rather watch "Urban Cowboy" than "Saturday Night Fever". Maybe because it doesn't feel as dated as SNF?..I don't know. It is a more entertaining film to me. I know this movie has taken a lot of flack, but it is one of those films you can watch once in a while. The DVD transfer is good, but a very weak release in the way of extras.
Not the Right Film for Travolta
Travolta was great in Saturday Night Fever, but this country version just didn't work. Although he's a good actor, he just was wrongly cast in this film.
Urban Cowboy Movie on DVD must have
