OK I guess, but not that great

This movie is OK for passive entertainment but I wouldn't make any special effort to go out & rent it. It was written by Toby Keith and Rodney Carrington, and I guess is pretty good for a first try at movie script writing. However, the comedy is lacking and you can tell that what little there is was written by Rodney. There could have been more laughs.

The acting is not that great. Toby Keith should stick to country music and not trying to act. He did OK some of the time, but others it seemed like he was phoning it in. Rodney did a pretty good job with comic relief, but he's funnier on stage than he is in this movie. Most of the rest of the big-name cast did OK, but the unknowns were about sub-par.

Maybe if I were a fan of country music I'd have rated it higher, but it just doesn't cut it for quality entertainment. But if you want to waste a couple hours, I guess this movie would do all right. However, there are many better movies to choose from. This is a movie I don't care if I ever see again.
