With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes wide open spaces and slow-burning standoffs and anyone looking to switch off and smile. Dust, horses and a showdown waiting to happen. Shelve it next to The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Lively and easy to follow, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Two guys come to Nashville and try to make it on the country music scene. Their vision is to play at the Grand IL' Opry. Rejection after rejection pushes them to the verge of quitting and moving back to wherever they came from.
