Country Crush

This movie gets a hard pass from me. We couldn't finish it. The singing voices are fine but the movie is just plain nonsense. Like a minute in I'm thinking this is the typical sappy hallmark type cheap TV movie just maybe a bit cheaper with even lower level acting then suddenly it turns into a musical. It wasn't well directed or choreographed with real oddball scenes like seriously who sings there in that situation? Even for a musical it came off unreal and stupid. It is a very predictable story, the star is only in it for a very small amount of time, the singing was OK but the songs overall are quite forgettable, the story is paint by numbers, the acting is very weak, it just seems like amateur hour. Made it half way through but know exactly what was going to happen and just couldn't take any more. Bad TV movie.

The movie wasn't bad, but was OK. This movie felt like a decent community musical that was filmed for TV. I rented this movie, not knowing that Jana Kramer was in it but was surprised, because I am from Michigan and so was she . Her performance was fairly good. It reminded me of CW style One Tree Hill-like movie-making with a tad bit more musical numbers. I was expecting a military like movie, with the Marine element but I found that it made the military uniform rather sloppy in representation. Jana Kramer did a much better job in "Heart of the Country" as an actress, because you actually got to see her perform as Faith. Also, in her indie-film American Legion charity movie that she did way back in the day, I think it was called "Approaching Midnight", they had better military representation in uniforms. I will say this for sure, SOPHIE TWEED SIMMONS as AINSLEY Stole the Show in the film, which was Andrew Cymek's best casting choice overall. The plot was sort of forced but that's okay, because that is the style of the film. I am not a fan of the Hallmark style TV Movies in a whole. But if you are a fan of that quaint Hallmark like effect, I think you will enjoy this for what it is.

Super cheesy, but still enjoyable if you don't expect too much. I actually burst out laughing when the first musical number started because it seemed so out of place.

Okay, when I first saw this summary I thought maybe I could relate. Being a city girl, it seemed cute that a boy would go after her. However, the summary and the actual story line don't seem to match up. This is about a struggling singer trying to get her big break and about a guy who has experienced a lot in his life. And the main girl on the cover is barely even in the movie, I was so confused about that.

Anyway, after realizing that this is a musical I kinda chuckled a lot. It just didn't give me that musical vibe from the first 5 minutes then bam, the brother is breaking into song.

As for the acting, it could definitely be better, but the voices are killer. I actually bought some songs as a result of watching the movie. If these actors were as good at acting as they are singing, we'd have a gold mind right here.

I actually recommended it to a friend, if you like cheesy movies then you'll def love this.

Classic Hollywood style musical, country set, set to country music. Pretty people well-filmed, time-worn and time-tried story accompanied by pleasant, if unmemorable music.

Adequate commercial product.
