Sing Some Songs And Fix Everything

Sixteen years ago, country-western singer Toby Keith fled his small-town home and pregnant girl friend and became a big star. Now a military disaster kills five boys from the town, and he returns for the funeral. Over the course of the weekend (105 minutes of screen time) he will sing several songs, reconnect with everyone left behind, and come up with a happy ending.Because that's what happens in real life, isn't it? My poor opinion of this movie is driven not just by my understanding of human nature, but country-western music not being one of my musical genres. I'm sure to fans of the music, seeing Keith in his big-screen debut, as well as listening to Willie Nelson for a couple of minutes makes this a worthwhile movie. But I very much doubt if this sort of reconciliation can stick for more than a couple of weeks, and therefore find it a ridiculous story. With Jason Leith, Richard Tillman, Kelly Lebrock, Tess Harper, and Burt Reynolds.

Big screen debut of singer Toby Keith.

Fair to maudlin is country singer Toby Keith's first film. Former high school sweethearts, Bo Price(Keith), a fading country music singer, and Angela Denton(Kelly Preston), a television reporter, return to their small hometown after the deaths of their younger brothers in a military training exercise. Bo and Angela have to deal with the past and the future. The out-of-the-spotlight Price meets his 16-year old daughter Dixie(Lindsey Haun), who is a musician herself...a rock musician. Angela has to deal with her father(Burt Reynolds), who has been out of sorts with her since she left home pregnant. Her mother(Tess Harper)tries to mediate a truce before having a minor stroke. Bo calls on his friends Willie Nelson and BeBe Winans to sing at the memorial service for the five hometown lost soldiers. Dixie is also asked to sing her own song "Broken" and it melts hearts. The future no longer seems so bleak. Also in the movie are: Katie Finneran, Anna Maria, Josh Henderson and Steve Coulter.
