Country Strong

It’s a countrified "Back Swan" with a twang and a Southern drawl, but not nearly as dark, when a big country superstar (Gwyneth Paltrow) tries for a comeback after rehab. The drama revolves around four characters (Paltrow, Garret Hedlund, Leighton Meester, and Tim McGraw) struggling with love and fame. Good performances and songs highlight this bittersweet love story that plays like a country western song. It is ironically surprising that the actors sing and the singer acts. Alien recommends that you all mosey on down to see this picture show for a good ole time.

Alien gives it 3 "Encore Tour" stars out of 4.
