I never tried to impress a girl by pretending Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift is my type of music, and I can honestly say I have never participated in a line dance. A drama centered on a rising country-music songwriter (Hedlund) who sparks with a fallen star (Paltrow). In 2012, the 8 out of 12 found this helpful. So, what was I doing at a screening of "Country Strong?" That ruined the entire movie for me.

I love Gweneth Paltrow. Was this review helpful? The cast gives it their all, and Paltrow handles her songs with aplomb, but Country Strong's cliched, disjointed screenplay hits too many bum notes. I am NOT a country music fan. Deaf people like musicals too.

I own a few Johnny Cash albums. She has no backstory, no history, only "the thing in Dallas" which is not fully revealed until halfway through the story. Was this review helpful? Ironically, Feste has said that she drew on the travails that Britney Spears endured when her career took a downward spiral. They do manage to give her a bit of an empathetic edge so that she isn't completely lost on the viewers but her character, and her drinking problem, and horrible things she does does tend to make her a little bit unlikable.

2 on the U.S. If a character is talking on stage there are subtitles. Why does this movie not respect the deaf enough to subtitle the songs.

The real surprise is Garrett Hedlund who all but steals the movie. Any and all issues I have with this film surprisingly fall directly on the performance of Paltrow. 13 out of 22 found this helpful. Either a cover album or a CD of original music.

Hedlund was cast as Kaneda Shotaro in the live-action version of Akira but production of the film was cancelled. Although it was pretty depressing from the start. Maybe a Western? I am looking forward to seeing more movies of Leighton which are coming out this year and I am hoping they will be as strong. It could be the very pretty cast of actors, or it could be the engrossing storyline, or it just might be the music that had me swaying in my seat, whatever it was, I left the movie as a devoted fan. Sorry, it could have been a really good movie...until the end. But thats not quite why Country strong didn't work as a movie.

These are some seriously talented people. And I admire Portman, and she will deserve her anticipated Oscar nomination. The 2010 country music-driven drama "Country Strong" was not a box office success. Tim's acting continues to improve. The chemistry between the cast is terrific and the story moves a long very well. On December 21, 2010, a second soundtrack album, "Country Strong: More Music from the Motion Picture," was released as a digital-only download (a CD version was released much later in conjunction with the release of Leighton Meester's 2014 debut solo album Loved it! The songs in this movie I assume were chosen because the lyrics were relevant to the story. The music is wonderful and I'm not even a country music fan. ... can be found in Country Strong. Why not give the deaf the whole story. Anybody who loved "Walk the Line," "Coal Miner's Daughter," "Nashville," "Sweet Dreams," and "Crazy Heart" will find this 117-minute, PG-13 pseudo biographical drama as musically rewarding as it is psychologically riveting. I do. Was this review helpful? I am actually rather surprised as to why people didn't like it-...I guess they were comparing to movies made before on country music with similar story lines but I didn't mind at all! This also however plays into the relationship between Kelly Canter and her husband. Tim McGraw doesn't sing in the movie.

Yes, "Country Strong" may seem a bit to predictable for some and yes, it does lag a bit in the middle of the film (mostly pertaining to Paltrow's scenes), but it does redeem itself with a vengeance in the final 30 minutes of the film.
