Had the pleasure of checking out Country Strong yesterday during date night with my wifey. For those of you that don't know Country Strong stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim McGraw, Garrett Hedlund, and Leighton Messter.
The story is based around fallen seasoned Country singing sensation Kelly Canter (Gwyneth Paltrow), and her fight back to the top through a 10 city tour. Along side Kelly are new up and coming Country singers Chiles Stanton (Leighton Meester) and Beau Hutton (Garrett Hedlund). The tour itself is managed by Kelly Canter's husband, James Canter (Tim McGraw) who's love for Kelly as a wife has disappeared, but his love for Kelly the singer has not.
The story itself was great, but too predictable. Within the first 20 minutes or so as a member of the audience you will know what kind of movie Country Strong is going to be. There is a nice twist in the movie, but other than the music I don't have anything to particularly rave about.
I don't regret watching it, but on my Chub rating scale this movie is definitely a NetFlix pick or rent it pick.
