I had hoped that there was more to this film than mechanical bull riding, but unfortunately that is the bulk of the movie. Skip this one, too long, too boring, depressing characters with cursory plot and characterizations, however there was some good country music played. Alternate titles: violent men and the women who love them, or cheatin' and beatin' in Texas. Just pitiful -- 3/10.
** Note, for a good movie of this sort, I would recommend "Every Which Way but Loose" from 1978, or "Flashdance" from 1983. Though I could see how persons from Texas or that lifestyle could view "Urban Cowboy" as a microcosm of their experience, but for me, a northerner, it just didn't work.
