Shara Reynolds I am still puzzled be the title, which rather indicated this would have a shred of connection to the original, which it did not. I'm also left to wonder whether Katrina Elma's atrociously affected character ruined her fledgling singing career, as I've not heard of her since this movie. But this movie would make a great drinking game. Take a shot every time Bobbie says "Thank you" throughout the movie. She must have said it two hundred times. Or, better make that "Thing Kew" in Bobbies saccharine "accent". It got annoying. A whole lot of this movie got annoying. I think. I would actually enjoy the soundtrack if I didn't have a mental image of the character singing it. Katrina Elam is no Carrie underwood but she has a nice voice.

cjcarter95 Just watched this movie today, since it was recently on a movie channel over the weekend. It was family friendly and contained great country music! The plot was a bit predictable, but I teared up at the end and the movie had a great heartwarming message. I watched it with my 7 year old daughter and it was great that the movie reinforced the fact that lying, being unfair and breaking promises are all bad things to do in life. The lead actress has an Amazing voice and I am not quite sure why she isn't a huge country star--she should be! The one thing I agree with, is that the title is not quite right. It is nothing like Pure Country and calling it a sequel just isn't correct. I think if this movie was given a new title, than it would have been received more. All in all, a good family movie with great songs and good acting (in fact, I think the acting was better in this one than the original Pure Country). Enjoy!

dshildebrand Generally when you label a movie as a sequel (hence the "2" in the title) you set up the expectation that it will be a continuation or, at the very least, contain some of the characters from the original film. Since this movie bore no relation to the movie "Pure Country, I am at a loss to understand the title.Yes, George Strait was in both movies. However, in the first he played a fictional country singer while in this sequel he played himself in a much smaller role. That is the only tie in. That being said, this movie could have easily had a different title and used a different well-known country singer without changing the plot.Speaking of plot, this one was saccharine, corny and predictable. My husband sat through it with me and kept saying, "okay, now this will happen next." It was sad to see so much talent -- Michael McKean, Cheech Marin, Bronson Pinchot, even Dean Cain -- put to waste.Katrina Elam has a great voice and I enjoyed some of the songs. However, unless you want your teeth to fall out from all the sugar or you're looking for something to put you to sleep at 3 am, avoid this movie.

ckkkmom I was very disappointed by other reviews. My family LOVED this movie ! It brought tears to our eyes even watching it on more than one occasion. It has a lot of underlying meanings that really hit home ! this was so much more that just a movie for entertainment ! And the way it all tied everything up at the end was very well done ! It left a lasting impression ! My teenager had no interest in watching this - her comment was "I hate country" but even she enjoyed it. My husband is a hard emotions police officer, but he said it hit him in the heart. this is a very heart filled movie for the entire family. SPOILER: I loved how it foreshadowed and then eventually explained hippotherapy ! this is something we have been considering for our child. My older child was against it until she saw the movie and is now willing for her younger sibling to try ! I will use the lessons of this movie with my children for years to come ! Don't lie don't break a promise and always be fair ! as well as making it up to those we hurt ! I did at first think the angels were a little cheesy- but they really explained a lot !!! We had even discussed purchasing the movie we enjoyed it so much !
