A Country Christmas Story (TV Movie 2013). 2h | Not Rated

“A Country Christmas Story is about a biracial young girl from Appalachia with dreams of becoming a country music singing star. So she enters a contest to find Americas next young country star hosted by Dolly Parton at Dollywood. Although the movie is advertised as a Christmas story the viewer sees no scenes of snow, Christmas trees and decorations or anything else resembling Christmas until the conclusion of the movie. It was hard to believe this girl is from Appalachia, nobody in the movie spoke with a Southern accent ,it just did not have an authentic feel to it. Also , this girl is supposed to be a country singing talent, we see no scenes of her practicing her singing throughout the movie. The girl reveals the title of the song she penned herself that she was going to sing at the competition but we never hear her singing at all until the very end. The movie suffers a great deal because producers cast a young lady with no musical talent in the main role. We keep waiting for something to make this movie a little interesting, perhaps the charismatic Dolly can come in to save it, but alas,Dolly has a very tiny role in it.”
