FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIMES! GEORGE STRAIT IS AWESOME! THE ONLY MOVIE I CAN WATCH OVER AND OVER AGAIN! EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A COPY OF THIS MOVIE AT HOME!

Just wanted to say thanks for how quick my order came and it came in excellent condition!

Thanks so much!

I love this movie !! This i believe is George Straits first acting role and well i was really amazed by the outcome of this film. Well written , beautifully played performances. I love George Straits work - Well this film but him over the top min my books. His voice is just breath taking and will melt you away. He has a incrediable voice. This box set of music was great to.

I'm not a fan of any of the people in this film except for one, the Lovely Lesley Ann Warren, I simply Adore her and originally saw this due to the fact that she was in it. I found the film a fun film, a good story with decent acting. It probably grabbed alot of female fans due to George Strait starring in it also. Thats ok, some stars pull in good crowds. Not a bad movie but not one of my favorites. I'd give it an "average" rating.

With the large amount of smut, ultra-violence and graphic language in movies today, "Pure Country" is a breath of fresh air for anyone looking for a movie that is entertaining for young and old alike. The film, which debuts country superstar George Strait's acting ability, is a quality film with a fun story that takes a look at the world of country music from the singer's point of view.

George Strait plays Dusty Wyatt Chandler, a Garth Brooksesque superstar whose show has outgrown everyone's expectations, especially his own. While performing at a massive arena to a sold out show, he has an epiphany that the fans are so caught up in his hype, in the pyro-technics and the fireworks and all the flash and dance, that they fail to notice when Dusty stops singing for several seconds. Downed by the realization that people have forgotten his music, and angry with his manager, Lula Rogers (Lesley Ann Warren), after a disagreement about how his show should be performed, Dusty takes off, hitch-hiking his way back home to his small-town roots, leaving Lula, the band, and indeed, his entire entourage, scrambling to find him before their next show.

When he returns home, he re-discovers why he began on the musical journey that took him into the big time, and at the same time meets and falls for Harley Tucker (Isabel Glasser), a proud but struggling ranch owner whose ranch is in risk of going under.

The story takes the audience on a journey into America's heartland, where front porch philosophy, strong family values, and the need to return to your roots are the more important parts of a "pure country" life. Through the experiences that unfold in his time off, Dusty discovers that there he must be responsible to the people that depend on him, but he must be true to himself and his music as well.

With a "feel-good" ending that's sure to please, this movie is chock full of George Strait's music, including the hit "I Cross My Heart" which went on to become a number 1 hit for the singer after the movie's debut.

This is a great film for all ages, and a movie parents can feel comfortable watching with the kids. (NOTE: Minor "make out" scene near beginning of the film (nothing inappropriate, but as I am labelling this a "family" film, I want parents to be aware for younger audiences)).

In a time when the world seems to be reeling from a lack of values, this is a great film that really is "Pure Country", with a down-home feel good story for the whole family.

This is the only George Strait film performance I have ever watched, and I am impressed. Although it was released nine years ago (1994) I only viewed it last night for the first time.

His performance was very good. He acts as well as he sings!

The supporting cast, including Lesley Ann Warren, who played Lula(his manager), Isabel Glasser (as his girl friend, Harley), John Doe (his best buddy, Earl), all turned in sterling performances as did the other cast members.

I was unfamiliar with all of the cast except Lesley Warren, whom I have seen in many movies, and who always does well in my opinion.

Not all singers can act as well as they sing, but this was a good story, well acted, with a positive ending. It was a pure joy to watch throughout, and the direction by Chris Cain was very good,as was the story line by writer Rex McGee.

I first saw this movie on TV and loved it so much I bought it. I can watch it over and over, even when it comes on TV. I had never heard George Strait, but I've become a big fan. I love the story, the characters and the music. It's one of my all-time favorite movies.

This is an honest pure classic at it's best....no high priced moviestars making demands to satisfy their every whim. Just plain good hardworking actors that made a movie from the heart. This movie is a southern heart warming pleasure. A must to see!!!

I am a George Strait fan and the first time I saw the movie I was pleased with how clean this movie is No SEX and very little four letter words...I think this movie is a classic love story between 2 people..I also think it was directed well and the people that acted in the movie were great..I like Leslie Ann Warren and John Doe..also I was pleased that most of the Ace in the Hole band was in the movie also..To be honest and down to the point..get this DVD you will be glad that you did..wonderful story

a cute, romantic movie. george strait is very good-looking. the movie also has a good soundtrack. it's harmless, go watch it!! it's an enjoyable film.
