Pure Country Reviews:
Great
2008-08-26 - Bought this for a friend who is a George Strait fan. Of course she loved the movie.

Just good clean fun
2008-06-26 - This is just a nice family movie with a great sound track. Worth spending money on.

From a non country fans point of view.
2008-06-24 - I don't like country, I like metal.
Why did I see this?
A friend dragged me kicking and screaming into it.
But I came out surprised and quite satisfied with the movie overall.
It's very well acted, well directed.
The acting is excellent.
I'm not going to comment on the music, it's not my genre.
But I would recommend this to even non country music fans.
It's got a good story going and some very fine moments.
Did I mention cowboys are good eye candy?
And there is no shortage of that in this movie.
And that's reason enough to watch it again.
Recommended!!!


Pure Country - A Pure Delight
2008-06-10 - George Strait has been a headline country and western star for a long time now, and when he made this movie, he showed he was more than capable of holding his own in good company. What a shame this was his only film !
Colonel Tom Parker was a friend of Strait's manager and told him that George Strait had the same kind of charisma on film that the great Elvis Presley had,and that a movie career was his for the asking.
However, the long delays between takes, the endless sitting around on the set was not appealing to George and he was never keen to repeat the experience.
However, playing a singer who is sick and tired of the remoteness of his live performances, huge stadiums and lots of special effects, and no real contact with his audiences, was a role tailor made for an artist as good as George Strait.
His character Dusty, decides to escape the mindless existence he is currently living and walks away, hitches a ride and heads for anonimity.
It is while he is "on the run" that he meets a young woman rodeo rider, well played by Isabel Glasser who takes him home where he awakes with a cruel hangover to meet her family, including her father the late Rory Calhoun in one of his last roles.
The soundtrack of Pure Country was a best selling album for George Strait and stands on its own as a fine album. The song, I Cross My Heart sung at the end of the film became a favourite request at weddings, a beautiful love song indeed. Other great songs include Thoughts Of A Fool, The King Of Broken Hearts, Heartland, When Did You Stop Loving Me, and all are worthy of countless replays.
A good movie,great soundtrack, and George Strait - who could ask for more?
