Toby Keith's Beer for My Horses Movie Arrives
Don't get me wrong, I'll bet Toby Keith and Rodney Carrington are hilarious in this movie. And I always like to watch Willie Nelson on the big screen. But there's one thing that makes me want to see this flick above all the rest. The Nuge -- a.k.a. Ted "The Motor City Madman" Nugent -- as a bow-and-arrow-toting sheriff's deputy. Who needs a badge when you've got tattoos? Apparently he was orphaned and raised by natives and only speaks when he's got something to say. Strangely enough, no one has ever heard him talk. That character alone is worth the price of admission for me. Beer For My Horses opens in St. Louis, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Nashville, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Buffalo and Tulsa today, with more cities coming.

I was really disappointed that this movie didn’t open this weekend in my hometown (or any surrounding area) of Birmingham, AL. Hopefully it will be here soon. Had already made plans to go see it with friends…. So disappointed!!!!!! What happened? I thought Bham was one of the “major” cities in the South…
LuAnn says:
I too am disappointed. Watched the special on it last weekend on CMT and I dont remember anything being mentioned about opening in select cities only.
Terri says:
I am also dissapointed. I feel as though the movie should be playing in all of the states he tours.
Lois Leighton says:
Where IS the movie being shown this weekend???
liza says:
On Toby’s myspace page, he gives a little preview of the movie and mentions something about opening Sept. 15??? Maybe it’s just being previewed this weekend in select locations. Who knows??
Freddie says:
The movie was showing about an hour away from my hometown, and I made the trip to see and was not disappointed. Toby and Rodney and The Nuge were great. May go see it again, will get the DVD as soon as it is out. Had a good time, and every one else in the theater seemed to enjoy it, too.
Fran says:
It didn’t open in Central Virginia either. I was really ticked. We didn’t get to see his first movie until it hit TV and then had to put up with commercials. Why did they have to do it with just a limited engagement and not tell everyone. He had the perfect opportunity during the CMT show about the movie. Now, I don’t care if I see it or not. It really messed up our plans Saturday night.
Amy says:
I saw B4MH this weekend and was not disappointed. It was hilarious, I loved all the characters. I drove 2 1/2 (each way) to Indianapolis from my home in NW Indiana. It was well worth the trip. I saw an article that Toby didn’t like how Broken Bridges was distributed which is why they went with Roadside Attractions. I don’t think we all realize how much it costs to release a movie in all cities. Toby put up his own money to make this movie. I’m hoping that it was a big enough hit in the selected cities to release it nationwide.
Peg says:
Went to see B4MH near Pittsburgh and loved it. Haven’t seen anything as funny since “Smokey and the Bandit” many years ago. It is fasted-paced and Toby and Rodney do a great job in bring the characters to life. The cameos by Willie, Mel, and David Allen are wonderful. I truly recommend this movie and will buy the DVD when it comes out. Can’t wait for the sequel!
Sammie says:
I SAW THE MOVIE THIS WEEKEND AND I HAVN’T LAUGHED THAT MUCH IN A LONG TIME. I ALSO RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE. I THINK WE NEED SOME LAUGHTER IN OUR LIVES RIGHT NOW.
Vanesa Hotchkiss says:
Wait A Minute!!! How come we can see interviews of Toby on TV between 8/4 and 8/8 for the big debut of the movie, BUT no MOVIE showing in MANY STATES! What’s Up with This?
Looking Forward to seeing movie if someone or some website would clue me in when’s it’s going to be here in Florida.
Whoever is in charge of marketing they need to Buck Up!!!
I want the WHOLE COUNTRY TO LAUGH don’t You? This movie NEEDS to get Out and Seen!
Vanesa Hotchkiss says:
Hopefully we all can be heard and someone will back Toby’s efforts UP!!!
joey says:
Why is this movie not playing in Michigan? I went to the Kenny Chesney concert last weekend. There were 40,000 + people there. There are plenty of fans in this area. What’s up? Are the liberals in Hollywood holding this movie back?
The Rogue Jew says:
I am a huge fan of all the cast in this movie. What an incredible lineup of talent for this film. One problem…Haven’t seen it yet because some schmucks left Michigan out of the loop for showing this film in. I have been looking so forward to seeing it since I first heard about it. The Nuge is a hometown hero in my state and I am sure this film will prove to be a blockbuster in any theatre venue in the Great Lake State.
Tracy says:
I am as well a HUGE fan of Toby. And the cast! I went to see him play at Mahegan Sun Casino when he was taping back in March then again this past Sunday (8/10) in Hartford, CT. At the Sunday show there was a big promo about the movie and how it was released 8/8, so I came home after the AWESOME show to find out there is nowhere to go see the show. So I called our country station up in the sticks where we live to find out it is not playing at all in CT. I am so sad. I hope it gets released here soon…we were all looking forward to seeing it the weekend it was released and Toby was here…I will find out where it is playing and drive if I have to…so I think all of CT country needs to call our theaters and demand they bring it here!!
Jackie says:
I am sooo disappointed that this movie was not released in Central Texas. I have been looking forward to seeing it. It looks like Willie’s home state would have made the list for early release. Can’t think of any state more ready to see this movie. Send it on to Killeen and Harker Heights!!!! A choosy horse will definitely want Lone Star Beer!
Dallas is not the only city in Texas.
velma Gould says:
I too was disappointed that it did not open here, Bakersfield, CA. Come on Toby this is home to KUZZ, Uh you know Buck Owens, the Crystal Palace???????????
I loved Broken Bridges. I will buy B4MH when it is released on video. Keep up the Great work.
Patricia says:
I was disappointed also that the movie didn’t open in South Carolina either. I had planned to go to the movie Friday night only to be disappointed that it didn’t open here. Hopefully it will open here soon or I will have to order it. I can’t wait to see the movie, because the trailer was great. South CArolina is ready for Beer for my Horses!!!!!!
Jennifer says:
I am a great Toby fan. Loved the First movie, but I too had to wait until it showed on CMT on TV.
I was hoping this movie would be playing in all major movie theaters. But, Nope. I live in California!
I sure would LOVE to see it on the BIG Screen. I sure hope I don’t have to wait too long to get to see it.

MaryJane says:
I’m in Canada, eh? What are the chances it’ll be showing here LOL slim to none, that’s what :(
I’ll have to wait til it’s on CMT I guess
waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
I love toby!! xoxoxoxo
sigh…he’s old enough to be my daddy, but who cares?? He’s the BIG DOG DADDY!
Gale says:
Looks like it was only released in 10 cities according to a website. It’s not playing anywhere close to New Hampshire!! Seen Toby twice and can’t wait for the third show… so awesome.
Cities movie is in: St Louis, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Nashville, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, Buffalo and Tulsa !
I guess they won the Toby Lottery !!
Christie says:
The movie was wonderful. I hadn’t laughed so much in a very long time. I would recommend it to anyone! I was great to go to a movie and be entertained. Can’t wait for it to come out on DVD!!!
Peggy says:
We made plans to see the movie on 8-8-08 and it wsn’t even playing in Las Vegas - so while we were in Utah - checked it out there and not showing there either - we were really disappointed - it should have been released to all the states - what’s up????
Anthony says:
This movie needs to be shown in the whole state of Michigan.
Jean says:
I am so glad the movie came here because Toby doesn’t do concerts here, the last time was 3 years ago. I enjoyed it, it was funny, Rodney is a hoot. Can’t wait for the DVD to come out and also CMT to get it but I wish it would play more in the Theaters. It was ranked #1 in 20 of the theaters it played in, not bad even though the money wasn’t that great a lot of people liked it.
Anonymous says:
So disapointed this movie didnt show or premier in the towns of NM it was filmed in…. what the crap Toby/CMT???
rosemarie says:
Hey,
I live in Wyoming and am really disapointed to find the movie B4MH is not playing anywhere. What’s up with that? How do we get to see this movie? I am really disappointed along with the friends waiting to see it with me.
Mullagator says:
This has happen again. I don’t beleave this. Can anybody tell me the closest state that Beer for my Horses is playing to Va. I thought this was America. What can we do to make this happen? I hope Toby Keith knows whats going on.This is not fair.CMT please let somebody know!
Terry says:
What a shame! I was a hugh fan of Toby Keith until his recent political support of Obama. What a hypocrit! His music aligns itself with a conservative fan base and yet it seems to be a fake manipulation. Who are you really Toby? Shout your true political views and align yourself with a guy who has done nothing and see how many fans leave you. I am done with your patriotic conservative music which now seems to be a manipulation of your fans. “What do you think we want to hear now” should be the title of your next tour. Maybe you should go into politics, you seem to be very good at leading people one direction while going a different path.
Nick says:
Hey we Marylanders need this movie to play as does the rest of the USA, can’t wait to see it!
Donalyn says:
We have been checking all over Utah to see where it is playing. Found out it is in just a few Cities. What can I do to help bring it to Utah? I can’t wait to see it. Hope we can see it soon…either way we will buy it when it comes out on DVD.
Marie says:
There are country fans all over this country. We are in Hawaii and are hoping that is released here as well. Toby, if your reading this blog, I know you can make it happen. My husband saw you in Iraq, and truly enjoyed your show. I know we will both enjoy the movie.
Ann says:
It didnt’ open in Chicago yet either. We actually saw Toby in concert on August 1st, & they showed the trailer & it looked awesome. I can’t wait to see it. I would prefer it in the theater but if I have to settle for DVD I am ok with that. I bought the DVD for his 1st movie Broken Bridges & although it didn’t get great reviews I loved it. I watch it all the time.
MP says:
Ya’ hear the hype, ya begin to look forward to the day it opens and what happens… the movie never hits theater’s anywhere in Montana, Wyoming or Colorado.
What the hell?? Why not???
The large group of us from all over out here that work in CBM fields, coal mines, oil fields, ranches, in town and rodeo that get together for nights out think this is a great disappointment.
If you’re gonna hold a movie back for “SELECT” cities as in “we really don’t care about anyone not in a metropolis” just say so…
We love the cast - Toby’s music and we are all getting together to go see Rodney Carrington out west her next week.
SO>….. fill us in why the select cities and why are us smaller community 12 hr day and steel-toe boot workers being forgotten about?
sasha says:

Layne says:
I saw the film. Loved it.
Tiffany says:
I am very mad with the locations picked in which to show this movie! They filmed in New Mexico, and there wasn’t even one location showing the movie in the state!!! I drove past the filming everyday! What the heck!???? When will I be able to see this movie??
silvereagle says:
Well finally.This movie is going to be released on DVD 11-11-08.
catherine taylor says:
when will this be on tv
Brabbit says:
I can’t wait to see this movie! I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be everywhere, but two places in Oklahoma, and just under two hours apart? Weird.
Bec says:
Watched it on CMT, tooo many frequent commercials ruined it for us :(
Leigh Ann says:
Oh my Gosh, I just watched this on CMT and it is soooo good!!! You just don’t find good old comedy like this anymore!! I loved it, keep em’ comin Toby!
Silvereagle says:
Well,I missed it Sunday night but it is on Wednesday night at 9:00pm.
Littlebitdusty says:
I seen two different two hr. movies they were so great!!!
We really need this for TV, gives you something to look forward to. Hope they keep them comming!!!!
Yeeesh says:
What!? Did we all see the same movie here? I’m watching it right now and all I can think is that it’s a self-indulgent piece of *koo-koo!*.
First, the stereotypes against hispanics are outrageous. Whoo! Where did Toby Keith grow up to be thinking these types of things?
Second, can someone please teach these people that a good story has plot? Beginning, middle, end…with conflict? Not just glamor shots scene after scene? Did Toby write this? Gads.
Hint at him, too, to lose some weight, okay? He’s looking awful.
One good thing about the movie? Well, okay. That was a nice paint job on the pickup truck. :b
Pat Riggs says:
The actress playing the waitress sure looks familiar in this movie but can’t think where I have seen her. My wife and I laughed through “Beer for My Horses”. Can’t wait for a sequel……

R.C.J- Altus says:
Toby Keith, I just want to thank ya’ greatly for the movie “Beer for my Horses” because I feel it an honor to have my home county involved- Jackson. It would have been great to see a few more scenes involving landmarks! First time I ever seen this movie. Is there a plan to make another movie/sequel to this? This could flow pretty far with a little more lookin! P.S- what theater did they go to in Altus? Overall, two thumbs up. Thanks for the publicity! You come back now, ya’ hear!
Thanks again
