This one caught me by surprised. It’s been in my queue of things to watch since long before Christmas, and I thought I’d never be in the mood for it. I had no idea it was a musical, had no real idea what it was about exactly, and it turns out to be an instant favourite of mine.

There’s so much to hate, yet I couldn’t help but find it catchy. I’ll even admit to finding myself standing up during this movie and sort of dancing along to it. And I hadn’t been drinking.

Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds are amazing, possibly the best performances (certainly in Parton’s case) I’ve seen from both of them. The music is, as I said catchy, and well, gosh darn, I just loved it.
