    Poorly developed. It had very little direction and exhilaration. The script doesn't offer much about the characters. As a fan of country music and Gwyneth Paltrow I found this soap opera melodrama unconvincing and at times monotonous, especially the climactic ending.

    The plot centers around a country Grammy type superstar entertainer who has lost it in the bottle. She leaves rehab much too early, as her husband (an awful Tim McGraw) wants her to begin a tour comeback. Along for the ride we also meet two up and coming singers ( Garrett Hedlund and Leighton Meester), which develops into a romantic entanglement, of some sort. It hard to explain the film, as little is explained to us.


    That said, I must admit the film does have some good music and production sets. When they let Paltrow do her thing she can come-off with a nice pair of lungs, besides looking great in those stage outfits.
