I was well pleased with this chick flick. I will keep it with my other special movies!!! Toby Keith was awesome and actually the whole crew was awesome. I cried in a few scenes, this 85 y.o lady can still have emotions.
Bobby Delton's death in a military exercise brings his family back home. His sister Angela Delton (Kelly Preston) has been estranged since getting pregnant. She returns with her rebellious teen daughter Dixie (Lindsey Haun). Her mother (Tess Harper) tries to stay positive but her father Jake (Burt Reynolds) still holds resentments. Angela is shocked to find Dixie's father, fading country singer Bo Price (Toby Keith), has also returned.Toby Keith is a stiff actor. I'm trying to accept that for this character. He's a piece of stone stuck in the middle of the screen. Kelly Preston is no great catch either. It's more interesting to see Burt again. The girl shows different sides and out performs everybody else. The music is pretty good and that helps a lot. Otherwise, it's a relatively unimaginative melodrama.
This movie is the second worst film that I have ever seen (the first being Ghost Rider). There is absolutely no plot, climax, conflict, or any other major detail required in portraying a story. This 'film' is basically just another excuse for Toby Keith to show off his manly side and, the 'tough guy he really is'. I completely wasted my time watching this film. The best part would have to be the ending credits. If I were Ebert or Roper, I would have cut my thumbs off and thrown them at the producers. Whoever in their right mind gave Toby Keith the chance to act in a feature film, is obviously on the same mental level as him. In conclusion, do not waste your time watching this movie, it could quite possibly be the only thing you regret.
Thought the movie was great! My husband and I shed some tears and laughs throughout the movie. :) We were really able to feel what everyone was feeling. When Toby saw his daughter for the first time it was like you were apart of that moment. :) I compare the movie with Pure Country with George Strait, it was an awesome chick flick. Hubby and I drove an hour to a theater which was playing it. :) It was well worth the travel. :) Toby and the rest of the cast shined and I knew they would. :) Looking forward to Toby's next movie. :) All around awesome movie. One of this years best. Toby will have many critics for this film as he does with many other things. But he truly was great and sometimes I feel that the people who criticize him are just jealous of him and his success. :) I am a huge fan of his music and his acting now. :)
