January 6, 2011 (Sampurn Wire): Film: Country Strong

Director: Shana Feste

Cast: Tim McGraw, Gwyneth Paltrow, Leighton Meester, Garrett Hedlund

Country Strong is the biggest Hollywood release this Friday and hence the interest level in the film will also be high. Not only does the film introduce the fresh pairing of Gwyneth Paltrow and Tim McGraw, Country Strong is Gwyneth Paltrows first outing as a singer and if reports are to be believed, the actress has done a wonderful job as a singer!

The plot revolves around country singer Kelly Canter (played by Gwyneth Paltrow), who starts a romantic relationship with Beau Hutton (played by Garrett Hedlund) after completing a rehab stint. Kelly Canters career fails to take off after the unwarranted break, and it is her husband (played by Tim McGraw) who serves manager to Kelly Canter to bring her career back on track. On the other hand, an emotional tussle begins between Kelly Canter and upcoming country singer Chiles Stanton (played by Leighton Meester), who also makes an appearance in the comeback tour of Kelly Canter. Complications arise from the romantic liasons, putting all the characters lives in jeopardy.

Country Strong had received a limited release on the 22nd of December, but tomorrow is the day when the film will see a worldwide screening. Though the story is one to look forward to, it is the singer in Gwyneth Paltrow that her fans will be looking forward to see and hear when they enter theaters screening Country Strong.
