      Hi this is Joe Tinoco...thanks for the great comments!!!!!!

      I just happened upon this site while surfing the web and WOW what a surprise to see comments about little ol me!! I had a fantastic time acting next to some of the best actors in the Biz! The crew...director...producers ...and Dolly...were all so nice and helpful! I had a ball!!! They definitely need more movies like this on tv. Maybe next time.....I can stay covered! haha!!! See ya, Joe Tinoco

      Dolly pulls off a complicated character beautifully.

      I just saw this movie and thought it was great! I really liked the chemistry between Dolly and Billy Dean. I believe it was the best work Dolly has done to date. Kudos to her for stepping out of her comfort zone in comedy to do something a little more dramatic. The character of Leeana is really complicated because of her history, and Dolly pulled it off beautifully. In fact, each of the characters in the movie were well played by the actors chosen to play them. I couldn't believe that this was a made for T.V. movie. It was really well done in all aspects the location, costumes, writing and directing. I liked that the script gave just enough information when it was needed, so the audience was able to go on the healing journey with Leeana and live her "aha" moments with her. I love movies that inspire and empower, and this one does both.

      I loved the Movie

      I have always loved Dolly Pardon, her singing and her movies. She was really good in this movie and Joe Tinoco was especially good in the birthday scene. Joe Tinoco should do more movies! He is a really good dancer and he absolutely made the show. Billy Dean is great so it had some of my favorite people in it.

      We enjoyed the movie and would like to see Joe Tinoco in More movies, he is very magnaetic, Dolly was great. Love it.

      We enjoyed the movie and would like to see Joe Tinoco in More movies, he is very magnetic/multi-talented.... . Loved it. Sort of a strange part Joe played, if you knew him, it would freak ya out, he is so shy. but a great and talented hard working kid. Dolly was great!! Dolly is fantastic and she has worked hard to become the legend she will remain! Great cast. Hope to see more good Country Movies on Lifetime TV, can you tell we are Country Fans? Thank You Barb
