The story is a heartwarmer, inspiration to anyone following their dreams and doing what they love -- with some lessons to be learned, of course, which happened quite easily. The casting was wonderful, the lighting and shooting amazing on spectacularly designed and colored sets, the continuity impeccable, and the highs and lows of the story line flowed so beautifully. It was certainly a dip into the reality of the music land of Nashville, the possibilities and problems and ways to deal with them. I loved the singer's transition from singing to singing for "a cause" and the introduction of beloved horses and challenged children in the process. Starting with the main character's home life and upbringing, her experiences with family, and her dealing with the characters woven into her new life, the music itself was the icing on the cake. Such a beautiful job done by all -- and I didn't have to go to a theater to see it. :-)
... View MoreShort and sweet review. This is no sequel. It's a steaming pile of crap.If you loved "Pure Country", you'll HATE this stinker.The addition of angels is hokey. The plot line is trite and predictable. George Strait is only in it for the WORLD'S HOKIEST "fight" scene and a could of distance shots. This is a really horrible. SUCH a disappointment. Dean Cain was one of the writers of this movie.... he should stick to acting. Or.. maybe if he REALLY wants to write, he should try NOT sullying the memory of a fun movie like "pure country".
... View MoreIf you're looking for a true sequel to 'Pure Country', you will not find that here. Christopher Cain has completely re-imagined the concept of the first film and now it involves angels from heaven and other supernatural elements. I guess that's what happens when you allow Dean Cain (TVs Clark Kent/Superman) to help write the script.George Strait does show up for a cameo, playing himself. That was the highlight of this 90-minute circus. It sure wasn't as heartfelt as the original, nor did it have the splendor or compassion of the original 'Pure Country'. It's a shame to allow something like this to be called a sequel to a very real film.The supernatural, a Jerry Springer-like sequence and the storyline are just insulting to the original film, that I could have cried, just because it's so bad!
... View MoreI was very disappointed by other reviews. My family LOVED this movie ! It brought tears to our eyes even watching it on more than one occasion. It has a lot of underlying meanings that really hit home ! this was so much more that just a movie for entertainment ! And the way it all tied everything up at the end was very well done ! It left a lasting impression ! My teenager had no interest in watching this - her comment was "I hate country" but even she enjoyed it. My husband is a hard emotions police officer, but he said it hit him in the heart. this is a very heart filled movie for the entire family. SPOILER: I loved how it foreshadowed and then eventually explained hippotherapy ! this is something we have been considering for our child. My older child was against it until she saw the movie and is now willing for her younger sibling to try ! I will use the lessons of this movie with my children for years to come ! Don't lie don't break a promise and always be fair ! as well as making it up to those we hurt ! I did at first think the angels were a little cheesy- but they really explained a lot !!! We had even discussed purchasing the movie we enjoyed it so much !
