Read Country Song Movie Review. Kelly Canter (Gwyneth Paltrow) is country music huge star whose big career is interrupted by a stay in a rehab (which reminds us of Lindsay Lohan, anyway). There, in the rehab, she meets Beau (Garrett Hedlund), who has a big talent in singing and writing country music, and falls in love with him. Simply, she then has an affair with Beau behind her husband/manager James (played by real country singer, Tim McGraw). Even after James gets her out of the rehab a little early, the affair keeps going on.
When you are watching musical movie instead of love films, especially of which specific theme is a country musical movie, you will always remember about the wonderfully-performing Reese Witherspoon in a movie about Johnny Cash. She sang, a little bit, but mostly she acted incredibly that you won’t have another replacement for such a role in a country musical movie next time. Now, Gwyneth Paltrow has her own role in the latest movie released about country music, but it’s another thing. Its better for you you to check nearest film rentals around you to enjoy the film.
James has planned, and thus goes with it, a show tour for Kelly with Beau and beauty-queen-turns-singer Chiles Stanton (Leighton Messter) as the openers and tour companies. It is unlikely that the affair will end, however, and James also almost set his eyes on Chiles. Fortunately, perhaps, that Kelly still cannot leave her addiction to alchohol and thet does not seem make Beau happy. Shortly, he turns his back on her and goes for Chiles.
The story is definitely not new. Not that because it is a non-based-on-true-story movie, but it should have not been that bad. It is about a huge star having troubles with drugs, alchohol, or anything: big deal. And how he or she deals with their problems and recovers to stand strong again on stage to prove that he or she is not done yet. The love affair between the characters does not show or convey any emotion at all. Many cries and frustration and depression among them, indeed, but those feelings are not so strongly come up to the surface. And it’s a wonder why.

However, an applause should pay to Gwyneth Platrow who plays her role well and even sings herself on her own way. We ever saw and listened to her singing a movie years ago, but this is different. She’s done well anyway. As to Leighton Meester, she does sing outside her acting job, and a little bit show of her in this movie is quite nice, even though her acting performance is still far away from that of Paltrow’s. Unfortunately Tim McGraw does not sing here, such a waste. What do they put him in this musical project for? Many people will expect him to sing, not to be a greedy manager.
The Country Song film is nice and catchy, though. And it is one of few reasons why music-lovers, but not really movie-goers anyway, should watch this movie.
