Country Crush

I don't understand the negative reviews. Sure it's not 'A River Runs Though It' caliber type of film. But it is cute, sweet, innocent, good vs evil, love story. Good music, everybody who sang did wonderful. And as far as the 'music without warning ' comment..... for heaven's sake ever heard of a musical? And the characters did have chemistry. Munro Chamber, Madeline Merlo, Jana Kramer and of-course there is my favorite Kevin McKerry. I enjoyed Country Crush.

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.

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.

For all I know, this is probably a very sweet movie. However, in the very first scene, a serious conversation between two brothers, one starts singing to the other. No one was holding a guitar or anything that would give them a natural reason to start singing; but rather, some normal background music starts playing, and suddenly one brother is singing his lines to the other. I turned it off immediately, because I wasn't ready to handle the cringe. Maybe one day I'll go back and try it again.

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.
