Storyline

Soon after the rising young singer-songwriter Beau Williams gets involved with a fallen, emotionally unstable country star Kelly Canter, the pair embark on a career resurrection tour helmed by her husband/manager James and featuring a beauty queen-turned-singer Chiles Stanton. Between concerts, romantic entanglements and old demons threaten to derail them all.

Critics consensus

“The cast gives it their all, and Paltrow handles her songs with aplomb, but Country Strong 's cliched, disjointed screenplay hits too many bum notes.”

If McGraw had been armed with a microphone, perhaps the movie could have gained something in symmetry; if Kelly had a grounding in social history, perhaps she could better be believed.

The movie has its moments, but the characters are fuzzy around the edges...

While the energy of the music and young love drives a lot of the story, those expecting to stand up and cheer all movie might be disappointed.
