A country girl who ran away from her roots to get a taste of life in the big city is forced to go back home by a family medical emergency. She fights the pull of her roots, determined to do what she needs to do then head back to her bigger and better life, but it’s only a matter of time before she realizes the things she ran away from are the things that really mean the most to her. It’s a story that’s been told many times before, but it gets a new coat of paint this time around thanks to a thoroughly engaging performance from country singing diva LeeAnn Rimes. She plays sexy and sassy very well, but also has the chops to add warmth and intelligence to a painfully underwritten part. Burt Reynolds is a perfect foil for her in the role of the grumpy father, and the bonding scene that father/daughter share in the movie is honestly touching.
