"Barstool Cowboy" tells the story of a middle-aged man, who spends his evenings in a bar with drinking and desperation since his wife has left him. When he meets a young girl, he soon starts to grow feelings for her and tries everything to impress her just to land on the same barstool once again.
I can't even tell why but I somehow liked the movie. You clearly see that there was hardly any budget involved and some of the actors are probably not designated to have a Hollywood career, but still you easily develop sympathy for this sad man, as he tries to become his best. The story in itself is nothing spectacular, it is more an episode out of life but the dialogues are fun to follow from time to time and generally you can spend this film in a very laid-back mood, what makes the few highlights hit in even harder.
All in all this is surely far from being a blockbuster but it is a thoughtful movie produced with a lot of heart and if you're not looking for a spectacle in the first place, this could clearly be worth a watch.
