Truly Dreadful Film

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

In the 1992 hit Pure Country, country singer Dusty Chandler (George Strait) is one of the best song writers in country music coming out with the hottest songs. He feels like his music and stage performances are overwhelming and feels he needs to take a break to rewrite some music and make country music the way it should be. He told some of his close friends in his band he was going to take a "walk," and on his walk he ends up at a ranch next to where he grew up owned by Ernest Tucker. Dusty becomes a ranch hand there and ends up meeting Ernest's daughter, Harley Tucker (Isabel Glasser). Harley and Dusty fall in love and all while working on the ranch and being with Ms. Tucker, Dusty perfects his country music to make it the way he wants country music to be heard as. While Dusty is having the time of his life, Lula (Lesley Ann Warren), Dusty's manager, has her boyfriend play Dusty and sings his songs and dresses like him. What does Dusty do? Is his love life over? It is a must see movie.The message this movie sends me is that we can have everything in the world and still not have it all. Does that make sense? What I am trying to say is, Dusty had it made. He was living the life doing what he loved to do, he had a bus and so many fans and was so popular everyone knew him wherever he went. In the end though, he wasn't happy. He didn't have a family. He never had a hometown or any close friends or a house to live in or anything. He was a traveler, from city to city singing and doing what he loves best. After singing for a while, he realized he was also missing out on other important things. Dusty can have all the money in the world, and still not be happy. Also, this movie teaches us that love is unconditional. In all honesty, I love this movie. I relate to this film, and I have several reasons for liking this movie. I love the country music in this movie. Growing up in the country, this music is all I ever listened to and it has a place in my mind where I will never forget it. In this movie they dress very similar to myself. They wear cowboy boots, plaid shirts, and jeans even in the heat of the summer. I like where the setting is set. At the beginning it is set on a stage singing music and in the middle it was moved to a family ranch. My family raises cattle and has other various farm animals as seen in this movie, and that's what makes me love this movie the most. I would never leave our family farm. I love it so much it isn't even considered work for me. I grew up with it and that is what makes me love this movie. The hometown friendliness, the country songs, the dress attire, and the country feel to it.Lastly, George Strait is the best country singer in country music and a great actor. Any movie with him singing in it makes a good movie. He has a lot of songs that are number one hits and no one in country music has ever made it to his level. His cowboy hat shows that he is an oldie, because not many new ones wear one. His acting is amazing. It is a must see in my opinion.

at first i thought this would be a boring movie with Country star George Strait playing George Strait.but it's not.there's actually a good story in here,with some decent drama.and of course the requisite romance.it is a bit predictable at times.you just know how it's going to end,but it works.the acting is quite good.George Strait actually acquits himself pretty well in that area.there's nothing really offensive here,other than some very mild language,so the family can sit down and watch it.it's not an award winning movie by any means,but it's pleasant enough viewing on a night when you have nothing else to do.i actually got caught up in it.for me,Pure Country is an 8/10

I was not expecting George Strait to come out in his first film and win an Oscar for best actor, anyone who expected otherwise is just ridiculous. But he did progress through the movie and you can clearly see he is better in the last half. This is one of those movies I can watch over and over when it comes on. Its also a great lesson. Please do not try to read too much into this movie as most critics do, just sit back and enjoy the story with no preconceived notions and you will be entertained. Leslie Ann Warren does a great job for her part, as does John Doe and Isabel Glasser. All the music in the movie and a couple more are available on the Soundtrack, which I personally think is George Straits best album he has ever put out.

This is a wonderful and romantic movie. If you like country western music, this is for you. I have seen it at least a half a dozen times. George Strait has surprised me with his acting ability. he is such a wonderful country singer and I may mention that looking at him is eye candy too.I love the story. It contains no porno nor violence which is refreshing to me. Of course, this movie was made in 1992. Women and men both enjoy this film. After going to the theater to view it, I went out and purchased it. I think you will agree with me. You will probably go out and purchase the sound track CD.
