Shirley J @Bowiewhist Sep 2 A great idea for a story and for the most part delivered with pace and some charm but I found it very hard to relate to the protaganist and her need to find herself. I struggled with her promiscuity, was baffled by her relationships with friends and family and felt the comedy was quite weak. The whole thing took off when we got an Elvis and Neil Diamond impersonator pairing - amazing and I read afterwards this is a real life couple. This was where the talent lay and I just wanted to see more of their stories. Consequently there seemed to have been a missed opportunity. I stuck with it as it is a relatively short film but I wouldn't be seeking it out to view again. See more Grant H @RT95929188 07/01/2024 A clever idea poorly executed. It tried to be in the class of Muriel's Wedding but lacked the wit, storyline and charm. Apart from the lead, the acting was sub-standard. See more Michael F @Mikef62 03/30/2024 Ok movie. Singing pretty good and despite several of my friends being in it, a total let down. Whoever did the makeup for the Kenny Rogers actor definitely needs to go back to makeup school. Not recommended 😔 See more Ken B @MrBelmont 02/14/2024 Seriously Red was seriously disappointing! See more Amy O @RT25476611 06/14/2023 As a Dolly Parton stan, I loved this movie!

That was enough to intrigue me and make me want to watch SERIOUSLY RED, a film that pays homage to the legendary Dolly Parton. The story revolves around Raylene, a young woman who is determined to become the world's best Dolly Parton impersonator. Raylene embarks on a journey of self-discovery as she struggles to find her true identity. Her journey is guided by Dolly's famous quotes and her soulful music. The film's visual style is striking, with a vibrant color palette and intricate costumes that reflect Raylene's evolving impersonation of Dolly Parton. The film's talented cast, which includes Thomas Campbell, Jean Kittson, Celeste Barber, Bobby Cannavale, Rose Byrne, and Daniel Webber, brings to life a cast of fascinating characters that orbit around Raylene, each adding their unique touch to the story. At its core, SERIOUSLY RED is a triumph of individuality and authenticity, as Raylene discovers that happiness comes from embracing one's true self. The film is a warm and joyful journey of self-discovery, with a message that speaks to the universal human experience of striving for our dreams while not losing sight of the things that truly matter. I genuinely appreciate it more than I usually would have because I screened Dolly's 2022 Christmas Special MOUNTAIN MAGIC CHRISTMAS late last year. It gave me a fresh take on an incredible human being. From a critical perspective, the film's music serves as a solid narrative thread, with licensed tracks and a powerful score that add depth and emotion to the story. In conclusion, SERIOUSLY RED is a must-see for all of those who appreciate the timeless appeal of Dolly Parton. The film was a heartfelt, funny, sad, and genuine experience all rolled into one. Keep in mind that this is an R-rated film and, being such, has some reason to take caution with who watches.
