**Synopsis:** Dusty (George Strait) is the biggest country music sensation on the planet! Despite his massive fame, he is tired of playing one sold-out show after another...so, he abruptly leaves town after a concert, leaving his band flummoxed. While they hunt for Dusty, they get an aspiring country singer (Kyle Chandler, Early Edition) to fill in, making everyone think he is the real Dusty. Will his band ever get Dusty to perform again, or are his days of stardom over for good? **The Good:** Like many movies about concert performers, this is a great look at what goes into live music. It also shows how easily people can be duped into thinking that "stars" have talent, when they really don't; in a world full of Auto-Tuned singers, airbrushed photos, and sub-par Hollywood actors and actresses, that point hits home even more now than it likely did in 1992. **The Bad:** Unfortunately, this movie betrays its "PG" rating. While I expected some language--how often does a movie rated higher than "G" not have any?--I wasn't expecting seven or eight uses of the d-word, almost as many of the h-word, three or four of the a-word, and even two uses of the s-word, the latter of which was unspeakable on network television at the time. Misuses of God's name, euphemisms such as "gosh" and "crap," and unkind phrases such as "shut up" pop up here and there as well. Sexual content is also present; one man talks about a one-night stand, whereas another scene has a woman walking into a men's restroom and making a reference to a guy's private anatomy. There were some brutal fights; they weren't very bloody, but, one guy gets seriously injured. Alcoholism is seen throughout. This feels more like one of the "PG" flicks from the eighties, when the "PG-13" rating didn't exist yet. **Conclusion:** As a result of my celebrity crush days, I'm better known for admiring celebrities of the female gender than ones with "Y" chromosomes. Even some of my friends may be surprised to find out that I've admired famous guys, including actors, for years. One of them is Kyle Chandler, who played the lead in _Early Edition_, a show my mom and I watched together back in the day not only when it was originally on, but also in reruns. Some years ago, I revisited the first season on DVD; recent news that the studio is releasing the entire series sometime this year is music to my ears. So, when I read that Mr. Chandler was in this movie, I gave it a chance. I have to hand it to him; he did his part well...but, that didn't save this movie from being a mess. Hopefully, the sequel (of sorts) is better. **Score: 2/5**
