What a waste of my time!!!

Excellent, smart action film.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Dolly Parton makes a bet with her greaseball manager that she can make Sylvester Stallone into a successful country singer. If she wins, he releases her from her contract. If he wins, she sleeps with him. Yeah, gross. Anyway, despite this iffy premise I liked the movie for the most part. Yeah Sly's singing sucked but it was a funny movie with some nice chemistry between Stallone and Parton. At least for the first hour and change. Then it falls apart in the last half-hour when, out of nowhere, Dolly suddenly starts acting like a bitch. Seriously, one scene she and Sly boink and the very next scene she's cutting him down in front of his family and friends and talking about how she's going to boink that scumbag she had the bet with. WTF? Obviously they wanted to separate Dolly and Sly before the climax where they inevitably get back together but this was the worst way possible to do it. Anyway, the movie lost me after that. I still managed to enjoy the ending but not as much. It's better than the IMDb rating and its reputation suggests but it does have big problems.

I have always like watching Stallone movies growing up. I did see this movie when it first came out but that was so long ago, I had to watch again. I don't remember laughing this much the first time I saw it. I bought the movie and love it. I think Dolly and Stallone did an awesome job. Very light hearted and hilarious! If you're in the mood for something not too serious, then this is the movie to see. Plenty of laughs! I mean when else do you get to see Stallone in a movie where he's not shooting people or boxing in the ring. Don't get me wrong, good or bad, I've loved every Stallone movie I've had the privilege of watching.

This film makes one wonder what the writer's of this movie were thinking. It is a pure mess, with a totally nonsensical plot and it has to be considered low points in both Dolly's and Sylvester Stallone's careers and both have done others things that are considered bad. The plot of the movie has Dolly making a bet with some guy in New York that runs a country western place that she could make the next person that came along into a better country singer than he had been hiring as of late. The last guy he hired though was the funniest thing in the movie and is the highlight as he sings a song about his beloved who died rather tragically. That to me was just great, the rest of the movie however is not and at times is very painful to watch as the next guy she sees is Sylvester Stallone's character and Sylvester can not sing in the beginning of the movie nor the end. The bet is that Dolly would have to sleep with the owner of the place which is a rather perverse bet for a PG movie and is oddly inappropriate. So you get to see her take Sylvester and to the south and try to turn him into a country music star which like I said is painful because you just do not want to hear him sing. The only other part that is sort of funny is when he is exchanging insults right before a show in the southern town. Though that pork chop insult really would have worked better for the other guy, this movie sadly will only work for a few people.

Never mind that "Rhinestone" already looks like a dated relic from another century...it was a very poor picture in its day, and time has not been kind to it. Country crooner Dolly Parton takes a bet (singing five more years at sleazy Ron Leibman's rowdy roadhouse) that she can turn obnoxious cab-driver Sylvester Stallone into a "Rhinestone Cowboy". That's the whole plot, really; the rest of it (ogling bar-owner Liebman, the budding romance between the two stars) is inconsequential. Bob Clark directed, shamefully. There's practically no action--just mouthing off--and even Parton's grounded, natural effervescence is discarded for the sake of extremely cheap laughs. It's a movie purposefully targeted at yahoos (who else would even want to see it, aside from Dolly-addicts?). Still, it's an insulting come-on to crowds of even the lowest denomination, and the smugness (especially on Stallone's part) is insufferable. NO STARS from ****
