Good Intentions

Featuring an extremely likable cast, lead by Luke Perry and Elaine Hendrix, this countrified comedy tells the story of the lengths a housewife will travel to make sure her kids get the chance they deserve. Even if it means dressing up in a ski mask and robbing your husband’s liquor store before he can spend the money on another one of his hair-brain get-rich-quick inventions. The story gets a little unwieldy at times, but director Jim Issa does a pretty good job of keeping it on track, while the cast does an excellent job of making it come alive. Hendrix, playing the housewife, steals the show with her sass and near perfect comic timing, while singer Leann Rimes proves she’s more than just a pretty face with a great voice. She can act, too.
