Storyline

Jake, an aspiring singer from Tennessee comes to New York City and finds herself working in club owned by a sleazy guy named Freddy. It seems Jake is under contract, and Freddy doesn't want to let her go. So Jake makes a bet; that she can train anyone to sing, and if she does, he lets her out of her contract, and the guy she has to train is a cabbie named Nick. They go to her house in Tennessee, and Jake tries to teach him, but it's very tough. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

Trivia

This is the third time that Dolly Parton utilized the same melody for her song "God Won't Get You". Originally written for The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), the Burt Reynolds ballad "Where Stallions Run" was cut from the movie, though it subsequently surfaced in American television prints. Parton slightly altered the lyrics and issued it as "A Cowboy's Ways" on her 1983 album "Burlap and Satin". When that failed to chart, she completely overhauled the words for the Rhinestone cut "God Won't Get You". See more »

Quotes

Jake: All right, we'll go to your place and you can show me your organ. But I'm warning you, it'd best be having music coming out of it.

This movie is just too funny!
1 September 2002 | by bdhoff – See all my reviews

This is one of the funniest Stallone comedies there is, if nothing else for the fact that Stallone is so bad at it! Imagine an NYC cab driver turned country & western singer? What could be better than that? Dolly provides a solid comedy performance as well. If nothing else check this out just for the laughs!
