Reviews

tjcrsj THis movie is such a great one for a number of reasons. Number 1 It's based on a Dolly song 2. Great acting 3. Great Music 4. great storyline. It seems like every movie Dolly touches comes to magic( except Frnk McClusky C.I). I mean it just has a great thing about it a that a lot of people can relate to. Billy dean is great to you can tell that Dolly and him get along real well. The acting I would give a 9 out of 10. The storyline a 10 out of 10. The songs 10 out of 10. All i can say is look for it on Ebay or amazon you Will not be disappointed.This is a Made for TV movie so it is hard to find. Wow. So i would have to say watch for it on TV they usually show it on Lifetime.

dc_rusty Singer, Leanna Taylor, is in a comfortable rut; touring with her band, singing at the same places and living with her manager of 15 years, who, as the movie unfolds, is seen to be a manipulating father figure.Into this mix a couple of new elements are added; a new band member who sees her genuine talent with fresh eyes, word that her father (whom she hasn't seen in 25 years) has died, and a talent scout spots her and relights a hope of going the next step in her career. With flash backs that explain her personal history, she finds herself moving away from the her safe place and opening her eyes to what maybe out there for her now, if she's willing to take the chance. The music is delightful, the acting is believable. The ending is not a disappointment to the romantic hearted.

jobbink I have always loved Dolly Pardon, her singing and her movies. She was really good in this movie and Joe Tinoco was especially good in the birthday scene. Joe Tinoco should do more movies! He is a really good dancer and he absolutely made the show. Billy Dean is great so it had some of my favorite people in it.

maryhemus I am a fan of Joe's and his performance in this movie was great. I am sure Dolly knew something was very special about him when she picked him for this movie - she knows how difficult this business is and the movie reflects the life of someone 'paying their dues'. Joe has talent and I do believe with his continued hard work and don't give up attitude he will become a bigger "star". No matter what, he is a superstar now - we all know that for sure. Really great plot on movie and I look forward to seeing it again. critic in North Carolina
