This movie was great. A really sweet love story. While I have to admit Jan-Michael Vincent isn't my ideal leading man, I thought he did a wonderful job in this movie. Kim Basinger and Jan-Michael Vincent play Kyle and Jodie, two lovers in a small Texas town. Kyle is a factory worker, whose favorite pastime is downing beers with his buddies at the local bar. Jodie his girlfriend is getting sick of the small town life and wants something more. Jodie's friend Caroline(played by country star Tanya Tucker) returns for a visit after hitting it big in Hollywood. Jodie's desire for a new surrounding grows even stronger than ever after Caroline's visit. She now has to decide if she's going to stay or leave to fulfill her dreams. Tanyna Tucker sings two GREAT songs in this movie. The rest of the soundtrack is wonderful too. Daryl Hannah is great as Jodie's little sister. If you liked Pure Country you'll like this movie. It shows the joys and frustrations of small-town life, honestly portrayed by a wonderful cast in this poignant, romantic movie.

I am a die hard Michael Murphey fan, and adore his earlier stuff more than what he does now (although it is all good). I have to admit, I bought the movie for the soundtrack, for I can't get the sound track on CD, and the songs are too good to miss!

Having said that, I do agree with the other reviewers, it is just plain good stuff. It is well acted, has a decent story line, and anyone who liked Urban Cowboy or Pure Country will really enjoy this film. Country fans and love story fans alike will relate to the songs, story, and lifestyle this film brings to them.

I haven't seen this movie for years, but I remember it to be an excellent movie. I remember it as very enjoyable and well-acted movie. I intend to buy it in the near future. Once I have the DVD, I will watch it over and over again, driving my husband crazy. I think he will enjoy it, too. He is a Kim Basinger fan. Great movie. I highly recommend it.

I saw this on tv years ago loved it. I'm glad it came out on dvd. I will watch it over & over again. You won't be sorry, I think you will enjoy watching it. Rich!!

Excellent movie, entertaining in every aspect from the story line to the music. A must see for country fans.

I saw this on cable when I was a kid and I have always loved it. J2 Communications where is the DVD for this great movie?
