    Gwyneth Paltrow gives an Oscar worthy performance, and the rest of the cast are solid too. Yet, the strange story and script, and way too over the top melodrama overcome anything that was making this movie Strong. I give this movie 32%.

    C&W lovers will lap it up - look out for some stellar Nashville cameos - and there's big-lunged uplift to see you through the cornball plot turns.

    In Country Strong, the Oscar-winning Paltrow gets upstaged and outacted by the kid from "Tron" and the snotty brat from "Gossip Girl." Who'd have thought?
