Title: not what it seems
Review: This is actually not a movie. It is a concert strung together with glimpses of a tyranical father and scenes with a controlling boyfriend. After 30 minutes of having these scenes repeated, we have got the idea. There is an urge to say, "Okay, okay, now move on to something else!" But no. It's another 55 minutes of the same scenes and glimpses telling us the same things. There is one event only, after 85 minutes of film, in which she finally sees what the audience has seen ages ago: that her boyfriend is like her father. She sings for a record company and then--bang--another concert as a star.As a movie, this has to rate two stars.For Dolly fans and for people who like rockabilly, this will be worth the price.So, know what you're getting and be sure what you want. For Dolly AND a movie, I recommend "Unlikely Angel" or "Straight Talk" or even "Rhinestone".
