Road Less Traveled

Not a great film at all, pretty good soundtrack though.

'Road Less Traveled' is led by singer/songwriter Lauren Alaina in her film debut. It entails her portraying Charlotte who is in need of new inspiration for her music career, visiting her hometown in order to do so whilst concurrently planning for her wedding.

It's a weak storyline, filled with cringeworthy clichés and predictable plot points. Alaina's acting isn't anything of note, same goes for her co-stars Carine Rice and Ashton DeGroot, among others. You can tell Alaina's talent lies with her music, which is by far the best part of this production.

I really was not a fan of the beginning of this movie. In fact, I was ready to write a whole thing about a side character having a much better love story than the protagonist. And although that might still be the case, the story went in a different direction than I guessed, so I have to give the movie some props for that. Something happens and the characters are all more likable in the last 20 minutes.

Though I still think too much time was dedicated to Babs's wine company.

I really enjoyed the movie! It did start out a little slow, but it picked up soon after. I laughed a good bit. Lauren Alaina has a beautiful voice. I absolutely loved hearing her sing "Holding the Other" while Ray played guitar. She put so much emotion into it. this one is well worth watching. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 01/02/2021

These boy meets girl films can be a hit or miss, and the acting on this one is definitely a miss. My amateur dramatic (I think in the US its called 'stock rep') club could do better.

Disappointed with ending after watching whole movie!!!
