Patsy & Loretta

2 broadway stars in a musical biopic of 2 country stars. What's not to like. Unlike previous movies about the 2 Singers they don't have to be dubbed. Megan Hilty looks like Patsy Cline and she sings Crazy wonderfully. Jessie Mueller plays Loretta Lynn. But its hard to understand their accents sometimes cause they aren't from the South. The story isn't a full biopic of the ladies but concerns their friendship.

Worth a watch.

Loved the movie!! Megan did a real good job playing, Patsy Cline!! I didn't see Megan, I saw Patsy!!

I grew up LOVING Patsy Cline & was obsessed with the movie Sweet Dreams ( movie based on her w/Jessica Lange playing Patsy) We got to see very little about her friendship with Loretta Lynn but some on the Cole miners daughter movie, so I was VERY excited to see this movie. I thought Mehan Hilty did an AMAZING job playing Patsy so much so I didnt even see Megan only Patsy. Muller did a great Job playing Loretta & seeing their friendship & then how Lynn's youngest was named after Patsy put tears in my eyes . I LOST it When at the end you see how Loretta helped Charlie out after his breakdown of losing his wife & how it effects her. I balled!! Idk how much is true but I do know that Julie Fudge ( Patsy's daughter) & Patsy Lynn ( Lorettas' daughter named after patsy) was involved with the movie I saw their names involved in producing. If you are a fan or grew up like I did loving Patsy, ( even though i was only 10 years old when the 1985 movie Sweetdreams came out) no matter how old you are you will truly love this touching movie of friendship between 2 lovely talented ladies that stuck together instead of trying to be in competition with in a cut throat industry having each others backs. It really was great story!

Two very talented women with marvelous voices are cast as Patsy and Loretta in this Lifetime movie. I was blown away by Hilty however. Her portrayal of the bodacious and larger than life Patsy Cline was so convincing that I found myself smiling whenever she was on screen. The script was typical Lifetime stuff and undeserving of what they could've given to the roles.

This is a heartwarming and endearing film brought to life by the realistic performances by all four (4) leading actresses and actors. The husbands who play the spouses of the two female country stars may have minor roles but their performances as hard drinking, skirt chasing and abusive husbands are reflective of the 1960's marital woes.

The two leading ladies Megan Hilty who plays Patsy Cline and Jessie Mueller who plays Loretta Lynn form a close knit friendship that was cut prematurely short. I for one never knew much about these two performers lives but I got to know and understand these two womens' trial and tribulations through their fine performances as mothers, wives and country songbirds. Kudos to the performances by actresses Megan Hilty and Jessie Mueller who made this film a special tribute to Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn's friendship and loving relationship.

It is an excellent biographical presentation that I hope will be remade some day into a ten (10) part mini-series with the same strong cast re-appearing. This made for TV Lifetime film is certainly way above par for a Lifetime film and deserving of special attention.

I rate the film a heart warming 9 out of 10 IMDb rating.
