User Reviews

Love story between a man and his music which finds him true love of a woman.

This movie made me fall in love with George Strait and country music!! I had never listened to country music before because I thought it was a joke. Then I found that country music had changed to be more like pop music or a soft rock instead of that twangy music it used to be. Their are a lot of gorgeous guys now that make you pay attention to the music too! It is pure magic between George and Isabel even when she doesn't really know who he is. Once she finds out the truth she still loves him and he didn't even have to kiss her! I think that Molly McClure helps to make the movie. She is so funny. As usual Lesley Ann Warren is a pure delight. She is one of the most beautiful women at any age.
