Seriously Red

I read mixed reviews for this movie before going to see it but I always have an open mind. I adored it..it made me want to laugh and cry and clap my hands all at the same time. Being a country music fan helped with the music content as I sang along and tapped my feet but don't let that stop you going if you aren't a Dolly and Kenny fan.

So heartfelt and funny and sad and genuine all rolled into one. I thought it was a masterpiece and over too soon. I felt like jumping to my feet with a standing ovation at the end and I couldn't stop smiling.e

If I was Dolly Parton I would he very happy with this film !

One small warning...contains nudity..quite a bit !

I happened upon this movie to watch one night. I started watching, expecting to flip over to the next movie channel after about 5 minutes but ended up staying for the entire film. Krew Boylan plays Red, a real estate agent who hates being a real estate agent and dreams of being a Dolly Parton impersonator. She sets a course to realise her dream and, in doing so, comes to understand that she needs to be comfortable in her own skin instead of somebody else's. Jean Kittson has a wonderful turn as Red's mum, on her own voyage of discovery.

There's a brief star watch in the movie when Red plays in Hong Kong. Keep both eyes open for Jack Thompson lolling in the background. Overall, it's a fun movie, with a not overbearing message about being yourself. Definitely worth watching.

This is better than the IMDB average because of the Aussie flavour About a deep down Dolly impersonator who wants a different life.

Think Priscilla of the Desert or Strictly Ballroom .. you get the idea.

Feel good movie with some gum leaves. Worth the time out.

Acting is solid, and real with Celest Barber as Teeth a great casting effort.

Krew Boylan was good as Dolly - converting from red haired estate agent to blonde bombshell effectively.

Better than I initially expected.

Various well known impersonators can be seen in the main club that do the club tour scene as well.

Keep a look out for some of your favourites.

Dolly Parton fanatic Red (Krew Boylan) can't keep a job and rents the converted garage from her disapproving mother. At the company party, she mistakenly dresses as Dolly Parton. There is a Elvis impersonator (Rose Byrne) and booker Teeth. Red gets fired and signs with impersonator company owner Wilson (Bobby Cannavale). She is paired with Kenny Rogers impersonator (Daniel Webber).

It's an interesting world and there is a funnier comedy somewhere in here. I like the themes and all the big ideas. There is stuff that doesn't make sense. It's also a bit disconnected. It builds up Elvis, but doesn't do more with that character. I assumed Francis to be gay and that threw me off. A lot of little things threw me off in this one. I still like Red a lot despite her bumpy journey.

When I sat down to watch the 2022 movie "Seriously Red", I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations really. Why? Well, I mean a movie about a Dolly Parton impersonator, how much contents could there possibly be to that?

But I opted to watch the movie, giving the movie a fair chance and the benefit of the doubt. And I am actually glad that I did, because writer Krew Boylan and director Gracie Otto put together a very enjoyable and entertaining movie here.

The storyline is nicely written by Krew Boylan, whom also coincidentally starred as Red, and it is a storyline that takes the audience by the hand and gives you a heartfelt experience that is guaranteed to put a smile on your lips. I was genuinely surprised with the story here, and I have to say that it was good entertainment from start to end.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, except for actor Bobby Cannavale, but they had a great cast and the actors and actresses put on good performances to bring the movie to life on the screen. Leading actress Krew Boylan really carried this movie phenomenally well with her performance.

"Seriously Red" is a movie that is well worth watching and sitting down to spend 104 minutes upon.

My rating of "Seriously Red" lands on a six out of ten stars.
