All in all, I thought the movie was OK, but I really enjoyed seeing the location (house) that the film was set at. I say this because I had the opportunity to spend the weekend in that very house! Some good friends of mine recently moved to Nashville and are currently living in the very house that the movie was filmed in. We had the distinguished opportunity to watch the movie with the owner of the house Friday evening and have him point out items of interest like Dolly's bedroom being his actual bedroom (and subsequently my friends' bedroom) and his own personal items that made it into the movie (like the black bowl that Dolly's boyfriend was eating cereal out of).
OK movie, but the movie's much better when you can see it in "her" house!

Movie was OK, but the location was excellent!
Not My Kind Of Film
Here is Dolly Parton in her very own made-for-TV musical, ladies and gentleman! That's right, gentleman is singular. Thought it was a typo at first, then realized that probably only one of us fellas watched this, and alas it was me.
What kind of man likes a musical anyway? I sure didn't. And it's bad for a musical at that. I've seen two or three others besides this one, and they were all better. It's bad for a TV movie too. Don't waste your time unless you're Dolly Parton's biggest fan. And even if you are, maybe you're better off skipping this, because it is sure to ruin her for you. Do not recommend.
