Small town - big city, it does not matter! You identify with the characters and the story. There is really no defects in this film. You cheer and want to encourage... you cry and empathise.

When was the last time a movie made you a better person? This one does. If you hear "sappy" or something like it from anyone who has seen this flick, you are speaking to a jaded, world-worn person.. Give them a hug and a bag of pop-corn and watch it again... together!!!

I liked this movie - it was low key and small town.

This is a quiet and lovely little movie that seems to have slipped by the world. Slowly, people I know became aware of it by stumbling on it at the video store, in the discount bin at Wal Mart, on cable tv or through friends who recommended it. It'...

Slowly, people I know became aware of it by stumbling on it at the video store, in the discount bin at Wal Mart, on cable tv or through friends who recommended it. It's hard for me to say that everyone will love it (or even like it) because I cannot be impartial.

You see, I am a Texan.

I don't live in Texas anymore, I live in New York; yet there is something about Texas land that holds me down, that gives me strength. I would imagine that people who come from the country have a pull to nature, a connection to the earth; it just seems, though, that Texans are INCREDIBLY bound to their roots. All the Texans I know, whether they live in Texas or not, are proud of their heritage.

I was born in Texas.

This movie captures, perfectly, the beauty of the land and the beauty of the small Texas town. The storyline is original and enjoyable; and the relationships are real and trustworthy. There isn't a frame of the movie or a word of dialogue that I, as a movie goer and as a Texan, don't recognize as being truthful.

It doesn't hurt that the four leads are gifted actors, adept at the comedy AND the quieter moments of pathos and honesty. And they are pretty easy to look at, too.

Breckin Meyer is a movie goer's treasure.

Sometimes, on a sunny, summer, Saturday afternoon, right about two o'clock, when the air has stopped moving and the heat has reached its' highest point, I like to get ou the dvd of DANCER TEXAS POP 81 and settle down on the sofa with a pitcher of ice tea, hit the play button and think of home...

I only liked this movie because I got to help with it!!!! It was filmed in Fort Davis when I was working there.

Even had I not spent 3 years in West Texas, I would have enjoyed this movie. But, in light of my time in Midland (followed by a move to Los Angeles), I found a movie whose script "read my mail".

You don't have to be from a small town to appreciate this movie. It's funny, tender, and oh so Texan. This was the first DVD I ever bought and we've almost worn it out. I lived outside Texas for five years and every time I watched this movie I cried ... (read more) You don't have to be from a small town to appreciate this movie. It's funny, tender, and oh so Texan.

Kinda boring, but meh.
Love Breckin and Ethan♥
