Movie Reviews of Rhinestone
Movie Review: Where's the Theme Song?
Summary: 2 Stars
Most of the reviewers have said well enough about how good or bad this movie is. Stallone cannot sing, no matter how well produced the film is, no matter how they silken his voice and no matter how much they embellish the rest of the music - he just cannot carry a tune. And that would probably be easily guessed by even the most casual movie watcher.
Parton, as always, looks great, although I am not a fan of her music, I am a fan of her "visual style". Otherwise, the movie is pretty much a fish-out-of-water tale, by taking a New York cab driver and get him to be a country singer by hooking one of the hardest crowds around.
Too many questions come up during this movie regarding plot, such as 'Are we in New York or Tenessee?' or 'How does a country club in New York survive when all of the talent gets laughed off stage?' and many others that, for the most part are not even worth trying to answer.
The only thing that begs questioning is that the credits state the movie is based on the popular country song "Rhinestone Cowboy" by Larry Weiss, but not once is it played in the movie. I don't know if the DVD cut out the song for rights purposes, or if it never made the final cut of the movie. But why bother giving credit if its not even represented?
Oh well. With that, the only other curiosity is that this film is directed by Bob Clark, who directed A Christmas Story, Porky's, Turk 182, among other cult films.
Overall, it is a cheesy 80's flick that can be unintentionally funny, but otherwise an irritating film.
