Soon after a rising young singer-songwriter (Garrett Hedlund) gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star (Gwyneth Paltrow), the pair embarks on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager (Tim McGraw) and featuring a beauty-queen-turned-singer (Leighton Meester). Between concerts, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.
I must admit i am really surprised the ratings are so high for this film. Paltrow blubbers through the whole movie with mascara running from her eyes 80% of the time. The male lead looks like he (a) has to shower, shave, cut and comb his hair. Tim McGraw is completely wasted. The music is good and Paltrow is a strong singer...great concert footage at the end. Generally a poor effort.
A lot better than I expected! I'm a sucker for emotional movies, and the music was good as well...on replay on my ipod now.
