Gilliangirl Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 If that is the one with Gwyneth Paltrow, I couldn't get through the movie. (we don't have a barfing smiley?!) I thought the acting was horrible (sorry Gwyneth). The soundtrack is supposed to be good tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She don't look bad, either...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StijnV Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I liked the movie quite a bit, although also pretty predictable sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanvillRob Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I agree with Karen...the movie was hard to watch....but I made it through it, and enjoyed the music. Gwenneth does a nice job of singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larryp58 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I agree, Wiley. Great looking Gibbys in the movie. As already said, the acting kinda sucked, BUT I thought that the songs and singing were fantastic! I mean, it's country but it was very good music. The actors sang really well in my opinion!

I agree....and there was an interesting back and forth with the young girl about REAL country and "country pop" (are you listening Taylor Swift??) that I thought was just great!

double0blues Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 For an actress, she does a pretty decent job of being a singer. She don't look bad, either...... I seem to recall reading that she started out wanting to be a singer and then decided to follow in her mom's footsteps - her mom is Blythe Danner - and become an actress...

larryp58 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 For the most part, I was VERY impressed to say the least by Garrett Hedlund in this movie. His singing and playing were as good as anything you hear on country music radio today. For an actor, I think he hit it out of the park on this one..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBCXvTKeVhM&list=FLqrdF2r4RM2jt_gcu6dLzKQ&index=51&feature=plpp_video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Ms Paltrow does a very good job for singing not being her calling. Having Vince Gil as a sideman certainly doesn't hurt with the cred, either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyK Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Gwyneth was a poor choice (Miley Cyrus wasn't available?) Honestly, the Paltro part was probably written for someone like Reba McEntire or other... how should I say this?... a real live, professional, female country artist with.... um... experience. The plot seemed disjointed. The music was better than mediocre... but then again that was what the story was about, a singer earning her chops, polishing her act. Gibsons made the show worth seeing through to the credits. Oh, and Karen, : has a up-chucky look to it. #036; and :-& both have a queeziness look to it. Yeah, we could go for a couple more emoticons. One with a guit tar picker would be nice. But they only give is a fiddler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieu1811 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Another movie was August Rush with quite a number of Gibby there. Sounds fabulous though. I am not a fan of the acting in that movie but the music part was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl M Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I am typically not a big fan of country music movies. I know that comes from growing up around Nashville and working in the industry so long. I see all of the mistakes and the cliches'. One exception being 'Walk Hard- The Dewey Cox Story'. Paltrow does have a nice voice, but the story was just not believeable.

ParlourMan Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 ... but the story was just not believeable. My guess is the believable wouldn't put bums on seats in the cinema, hollywood loves its downtrodden heroes/heroines who dust themselves down and get back up, most fictional music related fails are the same... I suppose a movie about being in the back of a tourbus, soundchecking, dodgy catering, some inner-circle *****ing, the hiring and firing of half a dozen session guys whilst trying to make a song out of the same old ideas and lyrics, some ropey gigs soundwise, displaying the ambition that it takes to get there, the toes that were stepped on, the back-biting in response to that ambition/success, the palm-greasing etc.. wouldn't make for that great or glorious a movie.... Drugs, sex, rehab, and a rebuilt-hero is what sells..... Hollywood is obsessed with the 'coming good' storyline... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
