 | I love this movie so much, and have since I was young, yet I just can't give it a higher score than this. Sly is an irreverent cabbie, picked out of the crowd by good ole Dolly and her manager to become the next big thing at a local country club. What ensues is classic 80's camp with little more than guilty fun at the expense of good taste.
The greatest part of this film is the first real Sly song, "Drinkenstein," performed while wearing an outrageous get-up that is beyond the imagination. That song won the movie a much deserved Golden Raspberry as did Sly's brilliant acting performance. No extras to speak of, but who needs em. You'll probably be too drunk while watching this to care, but it'll give you time to practice your jock-itch walk! |

| I personally don't understand why people didn't like this movie 20 years ago. I think it is fantastic. Dolly and Sly are so funny together and I love watching it over and over. |

| Ok, first of all, I have been a fan of this movie since it came out. I always liked the soundtrack and actually bought that before I was able to see the movie. Maybe that's why my opinion of the movie is what it is. The movie itself though is no great surprise. Dolly Parton is basically playing herself, Stallone is also basically playing himself. Everyone writes at how horrible Sly's singing is, no kidding, it's supposed to be bad! The premise of the movie is Dolly is an adored country singer in a club, she makes a bet that she can turn anyone into a country singer. Enter Stallone as a New York cab driver. She takes him back home to Tennessee and tries to teach him how to be "country". He struggles with the whole concept, the walk, the talk, the singing. At no point during the movie are you supposed to believe that he CAN sing, nor are you supposed to believe that he's become "country". If you like Dolly, you will love her in this movie. She pretty much just plays herself thruout. Her songs are great, she wrote all of the songs in the movie with one exception. The only song she didn't write is the wickedly funny "The Day My Baby Died" which is also a favorite of mine. Look, the movie is no "Gone With The Wind", it doesn't pretend to be. It's just Dolly doing a lot of singing and Sly trying to keep up, nothing more, nothing less. |
