Country Crush

We were so excited to watch this movie and it was absolutely not what we expected. Complete waste of time but mama aint raise no quitter so had to finish watching. The character of Nancy was strong in the very beginning and then idek not a very strong review writer but... Very disappointing movie.

The movie wasn't bad, but was OK. This movie felt like a decent community musical that was filmed for TV. I rented this movie, not knowing that Jana Kramer was in it but was surprised, because I am from Michigan and so was she . Her performance was fairly good. It reminded me of CW style One Tree Hill-like movie-making with a tad bit more musical numbers. I was expecting a military like movie, with the Marine element but I found that it made the military uniform rather sloppy in representation. Jana Kramer did a much better job in "Heart of the Country" as an actress, because you actually got to see her perform as Faith. Also, in her indie-film American Legion charity movie that she did way back in the day, I think it was called "Approaching Midnight", they had better military representation in uniforms. I will say this for sure, SOPHIE TWEED SIMMONS as AINSLEY Stole the Show in the film, which was Andrew Cymek's best casting choice overall. The plot was sort of forced but that's okay, because that is the style of the film. I am not a fan of the Hallmark style TV Movies in a whole. But if you are a fan of that quaint Hallmark like effect, I think you will enjoy this for what it is.

This was an okay film, if you want to see Jana Kramer at her prime, I personally suggest "Approaching Midnight," or "Heart of the Country" ... I just couldn't understand the musical numbers in this movie, they seemed unrealistic and took you out of the story process, but the characters and locations where actually pretty nice and good looking. The composition of the cinematography is pretty good as well, but I was hoping to see more of the Texas film location where it takes place.

This movie gets a hard pass from me. We couldn't finish it. The singing voices are fine but the movie is just plain nonsense. Like a minute in I'm thinking this is the typical sappy hallmark type cheap TV movie just maybe a bit cheaper with even lower level acting then suddenly it turns into a musical. It wasn't well directed or choreographed with real oddball scenes like seriously who sings there in that situation? Even for a musical it came off unreal and stupid. It is a very predictable story, the star is only in it for a very small amount of time, the singing was OK but the songs overall are quite forgettable, the story is paint by numbers, the acting is very weak, it just seems like amateur hour. Made it half way through but know exactly what was going to happen and just couldn't take any more. Bad TV movie.

This movie is just no good. Super cheese from start to finish.
