RATING: PG-13
GENRE: Drama, Romance
GRADE: C
Ehh, country has NEVER been my favorite genre of music (probably in my least-favorite, actually) but this movie didn't necessarily have to do much with the actual "country" feel, but just the pressures of how fame and love can't co-exist. In fact, the main character said she based her acting off of pop-star Britney Spears.
This film was mostly just a bunch of cliches with some funny jokes and a twist or two, but it was mostly dry. The best actor was probably Tim McGraw, which really shocked me, considering his poor acting from before. Garrett Hedlund wasn't too shabby either, and this is actually the first work I've ever seen him in. A lot of newcomers surrounded Paltrow, but it still made an interesting set of events with the characters.
The main problem I had with the film was the sound editing. There would be a song playing in the background, and you couldn't understand what the characters in the scene were saying, which can get annoying if it happens for almost every scene. Luckily, the plot wasn't too difficult to understand, but it was mostly a nuisance.
Overall, this wasn't a horrible film, but it's not exactly going to be around for the Academy Awards.
