Country History.......2007-06-28

Pure Country is a wonderful review of history, not because the film is historical in nature but because it is part of the early Strait years and helped to establish what George Strait country music was and would be. The acting is visibly acting and the storyline is classic with little attempt at original plotting. Essentially, the successful artist has lost his grip on where he started, leaves the stage long enough to visit his home, takes the advice and love of the grandmother who reared him, finds himself and a sweetheart, then returns to dismiss the foolish imposter who would like to be in his place, and the ending is happy for everyone with the artist even forgiving his longtime friend for attempting to control and use him; everyone is redeemed to some extint. When you have had enough blood and guts, this is a sweet story with the added presence of a man who has been a sqeaky clean role model for at least twenty five years in the entertainment world. It is okay if you don't cry at the end, just count how many times Strait kisses this actress. This was a refreshing review.

Must have for GS fans.......2007-06-10

I've always thought this movie was a little bit corny, but I love it anyway. It's one of those rare movies that you can watch over and over and still enjoy.

Great -- Music and story.......2007-06-08

I have watched this several times since purchase; I love the story line about getting back to what matters instead of smoke and mirrors. Needless to say, the music is even better. George Strait IS Pure Country.

A Must for George Strait Fans.......2007-05-29

If you are a George Strait Fan, you probably already have this movie. If however, by some oversight you failed to see this movie, you have to get it immediately. You won't be disappointed! The soundtrack is wonderful. It's a movie I watch over and over again.

Description

They're singing the songs...and living them. George Strait already had 25 chart-topping hits when he made his film debut in Pure Country (Side A). He plays Dusty, who ditches his superstar C&W career to rediscover his simple roots...and finds that the simple life can be complex when his manager (Lesley Ann Warren) retaliates. Next, in another savvy, song-filled slice of the performing life, Willie Nelson is On the Road Again for a film that's not autobiographical yet knows its highways and byways well. Dyan Cannon, Amy Irving and Slim Pickens join Nelson in a film that has the knack for providing the right song at the right time. Get on the bus. With Honeysuckle Rose (Side B) marking its DVD Debut, you can't help but go places.

Love Willie Nelson.......2007-03-30

Wonderful double feature. If you like George Strait and Willie Nelson you will love these movies.Honeysuckle Rose is a fablous movie with Willie Nelson and has alot of his music in the movie. Great!

Honeysuckle Rose.......2007-01-30

The almost legendary country road movie finally on DVD! Never seen a more authentic movie on this topic. Nevertheless that it's an "oldie" already and there are no DVD main menu or subtitles - it's a "must" for everyone lovin' country music. You shouldn't miss it!

Country Music lover from Down Under.......2007-01-10

I happened onto Honeysuckle Rose late one night years ago and it has taken me some time to find this gem again. For all you good old boys who think you're the only ones who really understand Country Music, take it from an CM mad Aussie, this is Willie Nelson at his absolute best. OK, so it was never going to win awards for acting or story line, but Lordy, when you hear Willie get into "Whiskey River" it makes you want to get up on that stage with him. I love it.

Great deal.......2006-11-11

The Pure Country/Honeysuckle Rose DVD was not only a great deal---but it was also a great dvd---fantastic picture and sound.......

At last..........2006-09-19

I have been waiting for Honeysuckle Rose for years! I saw it in the theater and loved it. If you love Willie, you'll love this movie. Slim Pickens is also awesome. Don't look for anything deep - just a feel good movie with great music.

Pure Country is a movie you can enjoy with the whole family. If you like George Strait, you should see it. He essentially plays himself. Enjoyable.
