Review: I just saw this movie today. I cannot understand why it was rated so poorly and it just shows that I am glad I dont listen to the critics. There are so many that dont like it because they compare it to past movies that are somewhat similar. I have seen very few movies like this especially ones that are based on country so I came in very unbiased. Just take the movie for what it is, on its own, for a great script and story!
The acting was sensational. The singing which was done by the actors themselves was fabulously passionate and real. Gwyneth, Garrett, and especially Leighton, WOW! The story line? Big deal if it is similar to others. This movie seemed so very real to what it could actually be like. Gwyneths acceptance to be the character she has to be was remarkable. She had humor, terrific talent and as a woman and wife whos husband had forgotten how to be a husband and partner, she was passionate and playful yet sad and lost. Once again she showed how wonderful and talented an actress she really is.
Garrett and Leighton played their roles very professionally, very real and we need to see more of them.
I love this movie. It had a profound affect on me being a musician and someone who had felt the loss of hope the exact same way Kelly did in this movie.
If the critics hadnt beaten it up so much, this movie would have rocked at the box office! Top marks to all involved. Thank you for doing this!
