Review of Country Strong (2010) by Cody L — 21 Sep 2013
Country Strong tries hard. Its cast is solid; its music is catchy; and its intentions, scattered as they may be, are true. Unfortunately, the movie is a flavorless genre picture that's too bathed in cliché, too awash in poorly-developed characters, and technically far too choppy to really find a purpose or, just an important, a heart.
Country Strong tells a story, but it tells a story without any redeeming value. There's the potential here for a superior human Drama, but the film instead plays it safe and, as a result, never captures the heart or the imagination like it should.
