Storyline

Dusty Chandler (Strait) is a super star in the country music world, but his shows have the style of a '70s rock concert. One day he takes a walk - out of his overdone concerts to find his real country roots.

User Reviews

George Strait is awesome!!!

I have seen this movie alot, if you are a George Strait fan you have to watch it. Even if you don't like country, this is a romantic loving movie. My Grandmother just bought me the DVD for Christmas because she knew I was a George Strait fan and I loved Pure Country. This is one of my favorite movies because it's country and also romantic. It has very low swear words, and there is no nudity. Quick summary: Dusty performs on stage and he gets this tired feeling of the smoke, lights, the microphone, and the amps. He decides to take a walk and loses track of time, he heads back wear hers grandmother lived and visits her. He cuts his beard and pony tail of and gets a clean shave, well he falls in love with a girl named Harley Tucker. Towards the end, Strait does not know why she was mad at him and slapped at him. He keeps coming to see her and asks what he did wrong, well the manager opened her big mouth. The manager told Dusty what happened and he was fearus, she apologized and he sent 4 tickets to the Tuckers. The Tuckers went to the show and Dusty comes out and sings "I cross my heart", to Harly Tucker. They hug and it's over, I would rate this movie 10/10 or 100%. Great for the whole family, for the youngsters close there ears on some parts such as the swearing. Thank you for listening to my review.
