Pure Country

Whether you are a fan of country music like I am or not, if you don't enjoy this movie or the story it tells, there's something wrong with you! We need more movies like this one. A man is looking for more simplicity and for love in his life which is something we should all strive for. There are too many movies focused on the hip hop culture today. There are so many country fans out there that would love to see more movies like this one. George Strait did an excellent job as did the rest of the cast. It's topped off with an incredible song, 'Cross My Heart' The soundtrack is also a winner. If you have not seen this, be sure to check it out soon!

I loved this movie. I was reading some of the other reviews that people had written and they were saying the acting was bad. This is not true the acting was great the actors were great and the film was great. George Strait is my favorite Country Music star and Isabel Glasser is my favorite actress. This movie has no Nudity, barely any bad language and no sexuality. This is a movie for the whole family to enjoy. Summary- George Strait Plays Dusty, a famous country music star who is tired of the smoke , the strobe lights and the over miked sound of his arena spectaculars. One Night, something snaps. He walks out ditching his ponytail, beard , and temporarily his career, to reclaim his down home country roots. He falls in love with Harley Tucker(Isabel Glasser). The simple life may be complexed but it is nothing a revitalized countryboy cant handle! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

This is a good vehicle for George Strait, although it IS a little hokey at times. Some of the dialogue seems to be a bit too predictable, some of the plot lines too hackneyed, but hey, it's only a movie! It's not an Academy Award nominee! This is a good film about a country music star who has had it with all the "stuff" of performing, and has had it with 'performing' itself. He simply wants to sing and play his guitar, he wants to get back to the basics of what pleased him about music in the first place. I wouldn't expect too many people outside of fans of country music to like this movie, or even understand it, but I like it. I understand it. And I accept it as 'Pure Entertainment'...and with a soundtrack like this one has, it can't go wrong. One might want to find a copy of "The Nashville Rebel" (sp) starring a very young and barefaced Waylon Jennings for comparison.

Many of the people who criticized and stereotyped this movie are absolutely out of line. This movie was nice. It told a story of a man who had everything except the one thing he really wanted, love. If that is a bad thing, then I think this world really sucks. It is really sad that we Americans can't be entertained unless there is countless amounts of sex and violence. George Strait rules and country music rules!

This movie was very enjoyable. I found the acting to be reasonable, the music great and the storyline believable. It held my attention for its entirety and watching it was a pleasure not a chore. I would definitely recommend it to country music lovers. The actors were credible in the roles and this movie contained no unpleasantness (eg unnecessary violence, swearing etc). This is a movie which could be enjoyed by all ages of viewer. It is a foot-tapping experience and was greatly entertaining. George Strait is an excellent country music singer and in this (his debut acting role) did a very good job. I would like to see any others he may have made since.
