Mayes sings better than he acts; he’s no foil for that charmer Bridges, who makes every scene feel as comfortable as an old slipper and earns every tear that comes his way.

The Neon Highway cannot help itself from tripping into country cliches more than most.

What I liked about the film, is that it takes its time to put things together. Some scenes are shorter, while others longer, but altogether it fits.

Rated: 3/5

The story is underwhelming, but the country music's not bad.

As freewheeling and laid-back as an old country song, this music biz drama never has much at stake—and these good ol' boys don't show much emotion—but it still manages to touch the heart.

Rated: 3/5

It just can't quite find its narrative groove.

i liked the story line and that it did not have any of the violence, profane language, and animated scenes. The actors were real people and folks I could identify with. I thought a movie where the story was what could actually happen in real life. The actors had to actually act.

Nice to see a human narrative with no super heroes and blood and guts... Just a wonderfully acted story with some great music. Nice to see it in a theater as well. Well done.

Excellent unique story showing conflicted emotions re: trying to do right by others. No constant stream of unimaginative vulgarities, naked women, violence, just a good story with good actors & writers. Recommend!

That was a tough watch. Brutal, I was expecting a solid b movie. I’d rather watch ginger dead vs the evil bong. Nothing but all the most ridiculous cliches.
