If you're looking for a true sequel to 'Pure Country', you will not find that here. Christopher Cain has completely re-imagined the concept of the first film and now it involves angels from heaven and other supernatural elements. I guess that's what happens when you allow Dean Cain (TVs Clark Kent/Superman) to help write the script.George Strait does show up for a cameo, playing himself. That was the highlight of this 90-minute circus. It sure wasn't as heartfelt as the original, nor did it have the splendor or compassion of the original 'Pure Country'. It's a shame to allow something like this to be called a sequel to a very real film.The supernatural, a Jerry Springer-like sequence and the storyline are just insulting to the original film, that I could have cried, just because it's so bad!

**SPOILERS** I only watched this film because it was titled Pure Country 2. As a fan of the original Pure Country, this film is just sad! It had absolutely nothing to do with the the original film. While this is an OK film, please don't watch this thinking it will be another Pure Country. The only thing this film has in common with the first film is country music and George Strait has only 1 1/2 minutes in the film, even though IMDb has him listed as a main star of the film. Watch this film for what it is and not for what it is not, Pure Country 2. Also IMDb don't list people as first billed, when they have less the two minutes of screen time. George Strait: 1 1/2 minutes of screen time. Dean Cain: 45 Seconds of screen time.

OK. I admit it, when I saw the title "Pure Country 2", I first thought that we would see the next stage in Dusty's life, especially when I saw that George Strait was once again in it. So I looked forward to more wonderful songs from George and his guitar.Only it didn't happen. Instead, we were treated to a romantic comedy with a mixture of modern and traditional country music. Given that George only appears in basically 3 scenes in the film, the lead in this movie goes to relative newcomer Katherine Elam. She does a capable job. Also the actress who played her aunt played the role masterfully. While I thought that the script was a little weak, and I admit I would have liked to hear George sing during the film (who wouldn't?), it was really pretty good.It won't win any Oscars, but it will provide you with an entertaining two hours. And if you don't turn it off at the end with a little bit of an emotional high, you're brain-dead.

I was very disappointed by other reviews. My family LOVED this movie ! It brought tears to our eyes even watching it on more than one occasion. It has a lot of underlying meanings that really hit home ! this was so much more that just a movie for entertainment ! And the way it all tied everything up at the end was very well done ! It left a lasting impression ! My teenager had no interest in watching this - her comment was "I hate country" but even she enjoyed it. My husband is a hard emotions police officer, but he said it hit him in the heart. this is a very heart filled movie for the entire family. SPOILER: I loved how it foreshadowed and then eventually explained hippotherapy ! this is something we have been considering for our child. My older child was against it until she saw the movie and is now willing for her younger sibling to try ! I will use the lessons of this movie with my children for years to come ! Don't lie don't break a promise and always be fair ! as well as making it up to those we hurt ! I did at first think the angels were a little cheesy- but they really explained a lot !!! We had even discussed purchasing the movie we enjoyed it so much !
