Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

disdressed12 to my great surprise,i loved this film.i does start off slow,but once it gets going,it's actually very good.i really got involved in the story,and i thought the acting was top drawer all the way.not only that,but Dyan Cannon and Amy Irving actually do their own singing and they both sound great.i loved the movie and the soundtrack so much,i actually downloaded(legally)the soundtrack.i have roommate whose Father was a musician and lived on the road,and she told me the movie paints a very accurate picture of that lifestyle.if you have't seen i would encourage you to check it out.it's well worth watching,in my opinion.for me,Honeysuckle Rose is an easy 9/10

moonspinner55 Acting-vehicle for real-life country singing star Willie Nelson didn't make much noise at the box-office, not even with his devout fans, and within the film's first half-hour it becomes apparent why: Nelson is basically playing a variation of himself--and not a terribly flattering one--and a star who soils his own character has a tough time being heard. Willie plays a country crooner with a loyal and gorgeous wife (Dyan Cannon, filling the bill nicely), getting the urge to cheat on his spouse with the nubile female musician who just joined his outfit (Amy Irving). The script is full of eye-rolling drama and sentiment, and when it isn't echoing other films (such as "Intermezzo") it's busy parlaying this superstar into a flawed Everyman. Since the other characters are clichéd or poorly-defined, one has little else to do than watch Nelson acting as his own shadow. "On the Road Again" indeed. ** from ****

garygorf I loved this movie and finally was able to get a VHS tape on the internet after trying video catalogs for years. I have listened to the soundtrack when I'm busy, and it still gets to me. I can believe the storyline about the mutual attraction between Willie and his "temporary" singer. The climactic scenes were hilarious. I liked this movie so well that I also bought "Songwriter". I guess I'm going through a Willie Nelson period, but I have enjoyed him in all of his movies, starting with his short bit in "Electric Horseman", where I first noticed him. I had never heard his music until after I "discovered" him in "Electric Horseman". If I have any complaint about his music, it is that "On the Road Again" is way too short. I think that,as an actor, he grows on you and continues to get better each time, much like Chuck Norris did.

rshan2587 Willie's acting ability in 1980 left much to be desired. The music, however, was great! Willie and Dyan Cannon's duet (Loving You is the Easiest Thing I'll Ever Do Again) was outstanding...deserving, alone, the "9" that I gave this movie.
