An average movie

To be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Country music so I wasn’t expecting much from this flick. However, since I have weak spot for Gwyneth Paltrow, I thought I should check it out. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it much. Indeed, in my opinion, the whole thing was not dark enough to be really interesting. Furthermore, there were 3 or 4 romantic angles which was way too many. Still, somehow, I cannot dismiss the whole thing. Indeed, to start with, I thought that Gwyneth Paltrow was actually pretty good and it was nice to see her finally playing a more conflicted woman than her usual rather limited supporting characters. It is too bad that this Country superstar would have some rather spectacular swing moods just to accommodate the script. I must admit that Garrett Hedlund was not bad either but I still cannot make up my mind about this guy. Indeed, I’m still not quite sure if he is actually charismatic or rather bland. At least, he keeps being involved in some really diverse projects (‘On the Road’, ‘TRON: Legacy’, ‘Death Sentence, ‘Four Brothers, ‘Friday Night Lights’, ‘Troy’ and soon ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’) and it should be praised. To conclude, I didn’t really like this flick but I guess it is still worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
