Summary:
A small town stud (Dennis Quaid) wants to go to Nashville and be a big country star. His ambitious kid sister (Kristy McNichol) works as his manager. When they cross paths with a small town sheriff, their dream comes in jeopardy.
An appealing, bittersweet backwoods saga laced with plenty of country and western music. [22 June 1986, p.4]
After getting off to a wretched start, the film settles down in mid-passage and grows unexpectedly appealing. Down the stretch it reverts to faltering form. The best policy might be to go about 30 minutes late and leave about 15 minutes early. [7 Aug 1981, p.C1]
