I stumbled across this movie on HBO. I don't normally listen to country music, but I really liked Katrina Elam's singing, plus she's great to look at. Her acting is decent, plus she had some similarities to Bobbie Thomas, having gone to Nashville to make it in country music. The plot held my interest, kind of corny but uplifting. Bobbie falls for a rodeo cowboy, but the movie is so wholesome they don't even kiss. The three angels added a light hearted element to the movie, and country fans will like seeing George Strait's brief appearances, although fans of the first Pure Country will be disappointed that this movie isn't a continuation of the original. All in all, a good movie for families, Christians, country music fans.

An aspiring country music singer with a special gift is caught between who she is and who she wants to be. After leaving home a woman who wants to be a singer tries her luck in Nashville. She soon realizes that the price of fame is not what she thought. I am a big George Strait fan but was not a huge fan of the original apart from the soundtrack. This one was over the top cheesy. George Strait is in this one too, but playing himself. If you liked the original I'm pretty sure you would like this one too. I give it a C+.

Would I watch again? - Probably not, but I may watch first one again just to see if I remember it right.

Short and sweet review. This is no sequel. It's a steaming pile of crap.

If you loved "Pure Country", you'll HATE this stinker.

The addition of angels is hokey. The plot line is trite and predictable. George Strait is only in it for the WORLD'S HOKIEST "fight" scene and a could of distance shots.

This is a really horrible. SUCH a disappointment.

Dean Cain was one of the writers of this movie.... he should stick to acting. Or.. maybe if he REALLY wants to write, he should try NOT sullying the memory of a fun movie like "pure country".

The original Pure Country is a fun sentimental romantic movie with some great honky tonk and ballads - not so this new version. It has a low budget Heaven Can Wait meets new country vibe that is pretty darn awful.

The plot is the first fault with angels and a gift of voice that is beyond corny in its representation, the second fault is the corn does grow as high as an elephant's eye - we just get all the country clichés and though the original has some heart, this has only saccharine - and almost comes across as,(take a deep breath), fake. Nearly anyways.

All in all, I was kind of looking forward to this; the original is actually pretty moving and with its "A Star is Born" plot moves along nicely - this sequel is just a mess.

I'm loathed to say it, but maybe you should give yourself the real gift this one time and give this a miss....

Wow, I can't believe so many "reviewers" would speak so harshly of this movie. Perhaps it makes them feel good to sit at home with a computer and write a review of how bad a movie is, but how many of these people could go out and do any better. Not every film is design to win an academy award. Some are supposed to simply entertain. Sure it was predictable and corny, but it was a family friendly, fun movie with a good message. No cussing, sex, killing or violence. Wow, what a concept. I watched it with my four young grandkids and we all enjoyed it. I didn't know anything about Katrina Elam before this movie. What a beautiful young lady with a great voice. And for having no previous acting experience, she did great. How many reviewers who panned her performance can sing like she does or will ever be in, let along be invited to star in any movie? It would be nice if reviewers would be a little more realistic in their expectations and look a films for what they are; entertainment.

If you're looking for a true sequel to 'Pure Country', you will not find that here. Christopher Cain has completely re-imagined the concept of the first film and now it involves angels from heaven and other supernatural elements. I guess that's what happens when you allow Dean Cain (TVs Clark Kent/Superman) to help write the script.

George Strait does show up for a cameo, playing himself. That was the highlight of this 90-minute circus. It sure wasn't as heartfelt as the original, nor did it have the splendor or compassion of the original 'Pure Country'. It's a shame to allow something like this to be called a sequel to a very real film.

The supernatural, a Jerry Springer-like sequence and the storyline are just insulting to the original film, that I could have cried, just because it's so bad!

The original Pure Country is a classic. Too bad George Strait didn't make a real sequel. However, once you get over the shock that "Dusty" isn't the center of the new story, the second movie really grows on you. The guardian angel subplot is reminiscent of "It's a Wonderful Life." Although George Strait appears in PC2, they chose not to have him do any singing. That's the only negative about the film. A duet or two with the star, Shannon Tweed, would have been really nice!, Yes I recommend it as a stand alone not as a sequel. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/28/2021

I am still puzzled be the title, which rather indicated this would have a shred of connection to the original, which it did not. I'm also left to wonder whether Katrina Elma's atrociously affected character ruined her fledgling singing career, as I've not heard of her since this movie. But this movie would make a great drinking game. Take a shot every time Bobbie says "Thank you" throughout the movie. She must have said it two hundred times. Or, better make that "Thing Kew" in Bobbies saccharine "accent". It got annoying. A whole lot of this movie got annoying. I think. I would actually enjoy the soundtrack if I didn't have a mental image of the character singing it. Katrina Elam is no Carrie underwood but she has a nice voice.

Just watched this movie today, since it was recently on a movie channel over the weekend. It was family friendly and contained great country music! The plot was a bit predictable, but I teared up at the end and the movie had a great heartwarming message. I watched it with my 7 year old daughter and it was great that the movie reinforced the fact that lying, being unfair and breaking promises are all bad things to do in life. The lead actress has an Amazing voice and I am not quite sure why she isn't a huge country star--she should be! The one thing I agree with, is that the title is not quite right. It is nothing like Pure Country and calling it a sequel just isn't correct. I think if this movie was given a new title, than it would have been received more. All in all, a good family movie with great songs and good acting (in fact, I think the acting was better in this one than the original Pure Country). Enjoy!

I finally brought myself to watch this movie. I should have known from the start how cheesy it was going to be with the angels in the beginning with the horrible green screen technology. I can't believe George Strait would have associated himself with this horrible movie. The signing and music is the only good thing about this movie. The story line is so bad I can't even find the words to express my disappointment. I am a huge fan of the original and huge fan of Mr. George Strait. But this movie sucked big time.

Generally when you label a movie as a sequel (hence the "2" in the title) you set up the expectation that it will be a continuation or, at the very least, contain some of the characters from the original film. Since this movie bore no relation to the movie "Pure Country, I am at a loss to understand the title.

Yes, George Strait was in both movies. However, in the first he played a fictional country singer while in this sequel he played himself in a much smaller role. That is the only tie in. That being said, this movie could have easily had a different title and used a different well-known country singer without changing the plot.

Speaking of plot, this one was saccharine, corny and predictable. My husband sat through it with me and kept saying, "okay, now this will happen next." It was sad to see so much talent -- Michael McKean, Cheech Marin, Bronson Pinchot, even Dean Cain -- put to waste.

Katrina Elam has a great voice and I enjoyed some of the songs. However, unless you want your teeth to fall out from all the sugar or you're looking for something to put you to sleep at 3 am, avoid this movie.

I absolutely LOVED this movie. Maybe it was because I read the reviews and didn't go into it expecting it to be a continuation of the original Pure Country. Katrina Elam as Bobbie Thomas was a very likable character and she had an amazing voice. Is this an Oscar winning movie? Of course not but it was just the kind of movie I want to watch when I need something that is going to make me feel good. If you like Hallmark movies, give this one a shot - you won't be disappointed.

Don't know why there are so many crappy reviews. Personally I don't like Cow Patty films but this film is really moving and family oriented. I've seen this movie about 10x in the past few years and it's always moving as she deals with her "Gift". I downloaded a copy of the first movie expecting it to be like this one and deleted it after the first 15 min watching it, like I said I don't like Cow Patty movies unless its a 50+ year old cowboy movie. It fits into my collection well with Angels in the Outfield and Angels in the End Zone. A good wholesome family oriented movie, The Cain brothers did a great job on a low budget.

The story is a heartwarmer, inspiration to anyone following their dreams and doing what they love -- with some lessons to be learned, of course, which happened quite easily. The casting was wonderful, the lighting and shooting amazing on spectacularly designed and colored sets, the continuity impeccable, and the highs and lows of the story line flowed so beautifully. It was certainly a dip into the reality of the music land of Nashville, the possibilities and problems and ways to deal with them. I loved the singer's transition from singing to singing for "a cause" and the introduction of beloved horses and challenged children in the process. Starting with the main character's home life and upbringing, her experiences with family, and her dealing with the characters woven into her new life, the music itself was the icing on the cake. Such a beautiful job done by all -- and I didn't have to go to a theater to see it. :-)
