Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
VividSimon Simply Perfect
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
rys86 If you're a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3K, Attack of the Giant Leeches, or Pinata Survival Island, this movie might be for you.I live in Nashville and I didn't even know of this movie's existence until the day prior to its release, when the advertising company panicked and blanketed Music Row with dozens of fliers and billboards. It barely lasted two weeks in theaters anyway.Bad acting, bad writing, and poor production only begin to describe this embarrassment of a film. For starters, the names are a bit much: Bo Price, Angel, and Dixie? Eesh.Toby's awkwardly slow delivery of lines makes one wonder what production assistant got stuck holding the cue cards off camera. Angel's character rapidly transitions from her city-slicker ways to a cowgirl, slipping into southern slang after two days on the ranch. Her wardrobe goes from chic to a female version of Toby's--in fact, in the final scene, their outfits are identical, making one wonder if the wardrobe assistant called in sick.The audio is inconsistent - perhaps the most noticeable example is when Toby decides to go for a swim and his voice suddenly sounds like he's shouting in a gymnasium.There's never quite enough explanation or character development to suffice what happens on-screen. Overacting, exasperation, grimaces, and moodiness best describes the actors' interpretation and direction of the terrible script.This movie is best enjoyed after consuming a couple of alcoholic beverages and in the company of your wittiest friends. But that's not saying much.
gremma The movie has rich characters, a good story, and is very well paced. Many times when a movie has great music it is to hide a dull script, not here, this music simply makes it a must see!Excellent character portrayal by Tobey Keith, Kelly Preston, and Lindsey Haun, who is a show stealer. Tess Harper is always just a joy to watch in almost anything she does and she doesn't disappoint here. The story follows Bo Price (Toby Keith,) a Country Singer, on his way down, who is called home when his brother, and 4 other boys from his hometown are killed in a training exercise in the Army. One of the boys is the brother of Bo's high school sweetheart, Angela (Kelly Preston) who was pregnant when he ran out on her. The funerals in the hometown bring the long lost lovers together and introduce father, Bo, to his daughter Dixie (Lindsey Haun), who is also a musician. Their stories are interesting and believable. Entertaining and love the music.
Renee Miller Wow. Ohkay I have to say if you are only seeing this movie because heart throb Toby Keith is in it, then you are going to be surprised. It has great great great songs in it, and don't get me me wrong I'm as madly in love with Toby Keith as anyone else, but he is a great actor and Lindsey Haun was just Amazing! All in all a very good movie :) I do have to say though , that Toby was looking quite good in this movie! The relationships between the characters was very believable! And I know that had some spelling errors but don't mind that! I definitely believe that this is worthy of getting up and seeing this movie. The album is going to be great!
malcolmbounds I believe the theaters have gone nuts. I got to watch the premiere of this movie and it never progressed into a release. Only major cities got to keep it after that. There are a ton of people here who would love to see it. I've bragged about it to my co-workers and I'm not a real big Toby fan. I think maybe they are trying to put this movie down, when in reality it would have done pretty darn good at the box office. The theaters need to listen to those who go to the movies, rather than the critics. From what I can see it will be out on DVD without going to the theaters and that is very disappointing. Regal, Rave, and all the other theaters should take another look at what they missed at the box. They all complain about not enough people go to the movies, maybe they need to take another look at what they show. If you get the chance to see this on the big screen, it will be well worth what you spend for a ticket. It won't be quite as good on DVD.
