COUNTRY STRONG

“I’m country strong,
With my country song,
So sing along,
If yer country strong.”
Name one bad movie about the Country Music Industry.
If you’re at all like me you have only seen three (listed chronologically, order I’ve seen them and quality):
1. Nashville
2. Crazy Heart
3. Country Strong
And that’s a hell of a line up, no turds in the bunch. If there are more I don’t want to hear about them.
Asking to name a bad Country Music Industry movie is as hard as naming a bad Alex Haley book (although I haven’t read Queen, yet).
TRY IT MOTHERFUCKER
Country Strong, the latest offering is awesome. It’s basically a ripoff of one plot-line in Nashville but who gives a shit. It also contains elements of Fleetwood Mac (train wrecks, drugs, screwing) Carnage (the character you have sympathy shifts scene to scene), The Royal Tenenbaums (Gwenth Paltrow plays a loosely southern version of Margot and sometimes Tim McGraw is Raleigh St. Clair) and Gossip Girl (Leighton Meester plays a simultaneously fragile and instinctively manipulative chicky whose ambitions often get in the way of her heart). And of course the big question everyone is dying to know:
Does Gweneth Paltrow kill it?
Of couuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
