Drink - Drank - Sing - Sung

Rating: 2/10 (30 January 2011)

The acting was well done, too bad the story has been overdone. I am a bit surprised they could not get one of the more seasoned country singers to act this part - with the exception of Willie Nelson since he already did the same story, 'Honeysuckle Rose' which had plenty of good music and everything else was awful. Well yeehaw I wandered off-topic. Let me jingle-jangle back to this movie. It hit the trail-a-blazin' but somewhere along the way that darned story line was hornswoggled and struggled to make it to the barn. (As you can tell I am attempting to write Hollywood-Western-Speech - too many westerns I'm thinking.) Talking' about struggling to finish it is almost like no one knew how to corral the herd (i.e. plot) and just shot the poor thing. Pardner I am not complaining, but this here movie ended all-of-a-sudden-like. It almost was like hopping off a rock into a creek and smacking your head on a log – not what I would expect. Now if them writing fellas had done the whole movie like this – it would have made me as happy as a turkey in a rainstorm. (Hmmmm, that don't sound quite right – I may have to come up with something else but I think 'happy as a bull in a dairy farm' might be too happy.) I guess I am just too hard on this movie. I gotta tell ya'all there were things I liked about this flick. A'kin to Jeff's swell acting I really liked the fact the lights were out in the the-a-tor so I could take a real good nap; the popcorn was really buttery and tasty, and the soda was all full of bubbles and sugar, kind-a-the way I like it. The singer's granddaughter was real pretty toooh wait.that was his girlfriendoopsforgot that this was a Hollywood movie. Anywaysthe scenery was good and the honkytonk experience was pretty cool. Now that I have mastered the dialectI may to do 'Deliverence' this way. Mediocre at best
