And I don't even like Toby Keith
My wife adores Toby Keith but I'm not that wild about him or his music. I recognize the talent but he's not my "cup of tea". I took my wife to this movie thinking I was making a "sacrifice" but I REALLY liked this movie. The story is good, the music is good, the acting is good (especially the relationship between Toby and his "daughter" in the movie), so what more could one ask for? I hope Paramount gets behind this movie with some promotion because I think a great many people would agree with me on the quality of this film. Clay Willis Acworth, GA
a nice surprise
I am a big Toby Keith fan but have to admit that I didn't have exceedingly high expectations when I went to the premier last week (I've never been overly fond of films that I think of as only show-casing the talents or looks or reputation of a celebrity). I was surprised and happy to be wrong in this instance; I loved the film and felt that it was a solid offering, not only by Toby Keith, but by Kelly Preston and the rest of the cast. The acting was solid and the characters and their relationships were predominantly believable; Burt Reynolds was stellar, especially. The music, too, was a good fit and added to the movie for me. Both my husband (who is not a county music fan) and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and although it definitely is a "chick-flick", I would recommend it to county fans and non-country fans alike.
Warm-hearted, wholesome and wonderful
Finally, a movie without profanity, violence, computer graphics, obnoxious music, and sex! But what this movie does have is Toby Keith, Kelly Preston, Burt Reynolds, Lindsey Haun, and a terrific soundtrack. Lindsey Haun, who is not a newcomer to the acting biz, stole the movie in her spot-on portrayal of Dixie, a struggling 17 year old who longs for a family. Her scenes with Toby, Kelly and Burt were fabulous. When Dixie debuts her song to the congregation, she really shines. This gal can sing! No wonder Toby signed her to his label- Show Dog Records Nashville! Toby, in his big screen acting debut, proves he can do anything he sets his mind to. He more than just says lines - - he emotes, he connects, and he delivers a terrific freshman effort. Tess Harper, Ann Marie Horseford, Willie Nelson, Bebe Winans, and Toby's very own Easy Money Band complete the cast. I loved it and will see it again and again, and will own the DVD. Very family friendly. The reason I didn't give this a 10 is because of the editing and some missing back story, not because of the acting performances.
Great Movie. Toby is super, but Lindsey Haun stole the show.
You will love this movie if you like good wholesome entertainment with a great story and great acting. My wife and I were background actors in this one, and we are probably biased, but we had never heard of Toby Keith before and are definitely not fans of country music (still aren't). Now, we think Toby Keith hung the moon and is the greatest. He not only writes and sings some great music but he is also a super actor. Kelly Preston is OK, as are Burt Reynolds and Tess Parker. I even liked Willie Nelson's part. On the other hand, Lindsey Haun is a bright, beautiful, fresh, young star who sings like an angel and is a great actress in this movie. Bring your kids, especially those who aspire to be singers and you will all love this movie. You country and western fans will probably love it, too. I can't wait to get the album because all the songs are great.
Angel From Montgomery Movie with Toby Keith & Kelly Preston
My husband & I had the most amazing chance of a life time experience in October 2005. We were extras in this movie for 8 days. We saw first hand what went on behind the scenes and the saw just a glimpse of what it takes to film a movie. We were 2 of only 6-8 extras many days and got to be around the actors a lot. We sat on the front porch of the "Delton Inn" (really the Veranda B&B in Senoia, Ga.)in swings and rocking chairs with Toby Keith, Burt Reynolds, Kelly Preston, Tess Harper and talked between scenes. Got to hear Toby cut up and sing funny songs between takes and while we were waiting and waiting and waiting for the next scene. They were all just wonderful! I was very impressed with Toby's acting ability and we all know how great Burt is. I think this movie will be a "sleeper" and be very successful! We may have wound up on the cutting room floor but I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything.
