      Audience Member I was lead extra in this film. I was supposed to be the dead man's middle aged girl friend. They filmmed me as I stood by the casket and then walked toward the Ft. Worth skyline across the cemetery. It was a fun shoot, one I will not ever forget. I loved the final movie. Funny. Great directing if I may have to say so. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member OK, so it's a love story. Shoot me! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie...willie ,lesley,julia and emmylou what a cast.... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member "Her old boyfriend's return puts a Texas barmaid on the track to success as a country songwriter." Yeah, this movie was about as crappy as it sounds. I TiVo'd it because it's Julia Roberts' first movie. And actually, she was REALLY good, but she only had a minor role as the main character's teenaged daughter. Other than that, this was the most boring piece of crap I've seen in a long, long time.
