Did You Know?

Trivia

Jennifer Aniston, who produced the film, used a number of Dolly Parton's classic songs on the soundtrack, since the main character Willowdean is a huge Dolly fan. Aniston also got Parton to write some new songs, including the theme song, for the film. See more »

Goofs

At 24:54, while Willowdean is reading Lucy's pageant application form, the application date, Lucy's age and Lucy's date of birth are visible. The date of birth that is shown is 5/5/79, which is incorrect. It should have been 5/5/77, assuming that Lucy was 16 years old in 1993. See more »

Lovely film
7 December 2018 | by stasiakoroleva – See all my reviews

Really surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. Most Netflix movies are cheesy and predictable, but this one is truly heartwarming. The story is great and the dialogue feels natural. Dolly Partons songs are a real highlight as well, and the message is delivered organically in stead of being shoved down your throat. I would recommend this for a nice Friday film night.
