I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It harks back to a gentler age and is at times may be a bit corny but the humour is lovely and gentle, not laugh out aloud. All the participants in the show know and really care for each other. I really enjoyed the country music. At times it is corny but is meant to be corny and is just funny. A lovely feel-good film, and you will be humming the music for days.

You can also hear the director and actor talk over the film as an extra. I enjoyed this too.

Rent it. It will really cheer you up!
