A rising country-music songwriter works with a fallen star to work their way to fame, causing romantic complications along the way.

Gwyneth Paltrow delivers a riveting performance that may well be Academy Award material.

Although it was pretty depressing from the start. If you're a fan of dark, edgy country in the "outlaw" or Alt-country veins, you'll see right through the film's fallacies before the trailer ends. The soundtrack is excellent.

I never tried to impress a girl by pretending Carrie Underwood or Taylor Swift is my type of music, and I can honestly say I have never participated in a line dance.

But sadly she couldn't even save one of her latest films, Country strong.

Paltrow's character acts like a Johnny Cash type figure, with lots of flaws that disappear on stage. My wife & I went to the screening of this movie (7/15/10)not knowing a lot about it. Big deal if it is "similar" to others.

Not being country music fans we were not sure how we would like it. Was this review helpful?

I do.

Unfortunately where the story might stumble is also one of its strongest points and that is the story of the main character Country superstar Kelly Canter. The clumsy, disconnected screenplay was probably the worst aspect of the film as it gave the actors little to work with. country strong Link – Adam Dunn, Jim Thome, et al. The storyline is really well thought out, the character development here is potent and the acting (including the singing), for the most part, is excellent. That ruined the entire movie for me. She has no backstory, no history, only "the thing in Dallas" which is not fully revealed until halfway through the story. I don't know if people like it because it's one of the few movies about country music or if people just want to be depressed. She plays an aging alcoholic Country superstar with as much heart as she can muster, but overall she is sadly uninteresting to watch for most of the film. Hair Stylist Jeremy Childs. Yes, "Country Strong" may seem a bit to predictable for some and yes, it does lag a bit in the middle of the film (mostly pertaining to Paltrow's scenes), but it does redeem itself with a vengeance in the final 30 minutes of the film. Hedlund was cast as Kaneda Shotaro in the live-action version of Akira but production of the film was cancelled. Why treat a deaf person this way. I always have, always will.

The acting was sensational. The album was a significant success -- it reached #6 on the U.S. James Canter Garrett Hedlund. Talk about a title scam job. 3 out of 4 found this helpful.

It's all rhinestone glitter with an anemic country twang whose roots can be traced to the Hollywood hills of bankers and moguls trying to separate the trailer park nation from their money with a dumb down formula fit for mass consumption and a plot as long as a three minute country song. Very very good acting and Garrett Hedlund should def think about a music career or at least put out an album, because that guy has a very unique voice, and he is awesome!

Country Strong Critics Consensus. The music was great and I hope it establishes Garrett Hedlund as a strong actor. Chiles Stanton Marshall Chapman. He has a terrific baritone & should definitely do an album. I am actually rather surprised as to why people didn't like it-...I guess they were comparing to movies made before on country music with similar story lines but I didn't mind at all!

These are some seriously talented people. With that extensive history, the music and the performers have a chivalrous quality.

Any musician or artist in general would know that really good music/art comes from pain, and the music is far from good, it's POP. Paltrow's offbeat casting is a bonus and she dominates the action even though she is often out of the limelight with real-life country singer Tim McGraw playing her husband.
