Nashville this is not

I don't think that ^^ was a spoiler. What we have here is an ensemble of colorful characters bound to a filthy and run-down C&W night club/bar. Basically everyone is trying to make it, as in having sex or to get a whiff of success. There's the struggling blonde ex-stripper trying to impress audience with her singing voice rather than her hot assets. There is a bit of sub-plot about rivaling stunt men and guys cheating on their girlfriends. Between singing on the stage we get a slow-mo brawl and a mechanic screwing a slut. Low budget drama with shades of comedy and action that feels and smells like a poorly done Crown International imitation. Which it is. Kind of enjoyable with a few beers and a soft spot for bad country songs.
