Country Crush

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.

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.

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.

This movie is just no good. Super cheese from start to finish.

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.
