Title: there's little rockin' about 'country strong'......
Review: 'country strong' has a lot jammed into its 2+ hour length, yet it doesn't really answer any of the "who, what, when, or whys".....as a result, you have a leading character (gwyneth paltrow) with a tumultous life, yet there's little reason to have any sympathy for her. there's another character--the husband/manager--who we're supposed to accept as the "villain" of sorts (tim mcgraw)--but instead you might actually feel sympathetic toward HIM after watching what he has to put up with. some people have talked about the "suprise" ending, which honestly came as no suprise to me (ask my wife, i called it about 40 minutes in, lol). there's so little to know about these characters, i just couldn't have imagined it ending any other way....it was just as simple as playing "connect the dots". if you're one of those types who HAVE to see this movie, reviews be damned, then at least watch it on cable & not spend your cash on a DVD...
