A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Gamecocks said it very well - if you don't get goose bumps during the final scene of this movie you can't be human. That must explain why I have watched that scene about 50 times on Utube. You can find it by entering 'Utube I cross my heart' on the AOL search bar. You will not be disappointed, I promise you. I have also watched the entire movie more than five times - and if you don't want to purchase the DVD, you can watch it on Utube for nothing. One scene involves Wyatt, Dusty's off stage name, being given a beat down by Al outside a bar in the evening when it was raining, since Al was annoying Harley. Wyatt ends up in the mud, looking up at Harley. Harley gets Al away from Wyatt by pinching his hand in the door of her truck and then slamming the door in his face, breaking his nose. By the way, by now I have fallen in love with Harley,and likely will always love her. Harley takes Wyatt to her home, and invites him to breakfast. When Wyatt sees Al driving up in his pickup, then annoying Harley again, he walks out to where they are. Al, who has tape on his nose and a bandage on his right hand, asks Wyatt if he wants another beat down. Wyatt shoves Al, who is much bigger than Wyatt is, and Wyatt says 'absolutely', a great use of a word reflecting the quality of this film. Al swings his fist at Wyatt, but Wyatt ducks under it, then breaks Al's nose for a second time. On his way back to Harley's house, Wyatt steps on Al's injured hand.

Pure Country is a 1992 film released by Warner Bros. Pictures starring George Strait ("The King of Country Music"), Lesley Ann Warren, and Isabel Glasser. The film is about fictional country singer Dusty Wyatt Chandler (George Strait), who has had enough of the light shows and smoke at his concerts and to him, he feels like a "dancing chicken" as he talked to his best friend Earl (John Doe). Tired of feeling like a "dancing chicken" he decides to "take a walk" back to his hometown to rediscover his country roots and along the way he finds true love in Harley Tucker (Isabel Glasser). While he was gone, though, one of the members of his friend Lula's (Lesley Ann Warren) road crew, Buddy Jackson (Kyle Chandler), takes over and moonlights as Dusty at one of their shows and gets the idea to present the video to a record producer. Now, it's up to Dusty to set things right. With a little help from his Grandma and his friends, there's nothing this cowboy can't handle. I first saw this on CMT last July and I loved every moment of it! I am a fan of country music. While George Strait isn't my favorite singer, he's in my top 5 for sure! My favorite songs from this movie are "Heartland", "Where the Sidewalk Ends", and "Cross My Heart", which is one of Strait's best songs and possibly the song that'll be played at my wedding (haven't decided on this or "Forever and Ever, Amen" by Randy Travis). Every song in the movie is great though and the soundtrack is worth the buy! This in my opinion is great entertainment for the whole family. It has a great love story, great country music, and good lessons. It's rated PG, but there's very little swearing in this movie. If you're a country fan and haven't seen this yet, watch it! Even if you're not a fan of country music, check it out anyways! Rating: 10/10!!!

My sisters friend had rented this movie and invited me to watch one day. I flat out was against watching this movie because I assumed it had nothing of interest for me. I had no idea who George Strait was, nor any care for country music. But I gave in and sat through it. This movie was a classic romance movie using country music and a small town as a backdrop. The main reason I am here writing a review is because this movie I heard opened doors for many people who had no care for the Country music genre but because of this movie are fans of country music, mostly George Strait as I have become. Its a simple movie. Great soundtrack. But a movie that opened my heart and ears into a new world.

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
