Country Crush

Classic Hollywood style musical, country set, set to country music. Pretty people well-filmed, time-worn and time-tried story accompanied by pleasant, if unmemorable music.

Adequate commercial product.

I don't understand the negative reviews. Sure it's not 'A River Runs Though It' caliber type of film. But it is cute, sweet, innocent, good vs evil, love story. Good music, everybody who sang did wonderful. And as far as the 'music without warning ' comment..... for heaven's sake ever heard of a musical? And the characters did have chemistry. Munro Chamber, Madeline Merlo, Jana Kramer and of-course there is my favorite Kevin McKerry. I enjoyed Country Crush.

For all I know, this is probably a very sweet movie. However, in the very first scene, a serious conversation between two brothers, one starts singing to the other. No one was holding a guitar or anything that would give them a natural reason to start singing; but rather, some normal background music starts playing, and suddenly one brother is singing his lines to the other. I turned it off immediately, because I wasn't ready to handle the cringe. Maybe one day I'll go back and try it again.

This was an okay film, if you want to see Jana Kramer at her prime, I personally suggest "Approaching Midnight," or "Heart of the Country" ... I just couldn't understand the musical numbers in this movie, they seemed unrealistic and took you out of the story process, but the characters and locations where actually pretty nice and good looking. The composition of the cinematography is pretty good as well, but I was hoping to see more of the Texas film location where it takes place.

Super cheesy, but still enjoyable if you don't expect too much. I actually burst out laughing when the first musical number started because it seemed so out of place.
