Dolly Parton makes a bet with her greaseball manager that she can make Sylvester Stallone into a successful country singer. If she wins, he releases her from her contract. If he wins, she sleeps with him. Yeah, gross. Anyway, despite this iffy premise I liked the movie for the most part. Yeah Sly's singing sucked but it was a funny movie with some nice chemistry between Stallone and Parton. At least for the first hour and change. Then it falls apart in the last half-hour when, out of nowhere, Dolly suddenly starts acting like a bitch. Seriously, one scene she and Sly boink and the very next scene she's cutting him down in front of his family and friends and talking about how she's going to boink that scumbag she had the bet with. WTF? Obviously they wanted to separate Dolly and Sly before the climax where they inevitably get back together but this was the worst way possible to do it. Anyway, the movie lost me after that. I still managed to enjoy the ending but not as much. It's better than the IMDb rating and its reputation suggests but it does have big problems.
