Country Strong (1:57) 2010

Country Strong opens with Kelly, a famous country western performer, prematurely leaving rehab. Her manager husband wants her to get back on tour and revive her career. While in rehab, Kelly befriended Beau, one of the center's employees who is also a country western singer. Beau is hired to go on tour with Kelly both as an opening act and to keep an eye on her so she won't relapse. The plot revolves around Kelly having difficulty with her miscarriage at five months, her strained marriage, and her battle with the bottle. There are subplots involving her manager husband, James pushing Kelly to perform, Beau's conflicting feelings about Kelly and an up and coming singer, Chiles. I'm not much of a fan of country and western music but I really did like the musical numbers especially Kelly's performance in Dallas. Gwyneth Paltrow portrays Kelly, and she can really belt out a song. I watched her performance at the end of the movie three times. The rest of the movie was okay, the musical numbers kept me watching. I can't rave about this movie, if you are flipping channels and come across it, you might want to give it a chance.
