Forget what the carping critics say. I don’t believe the brains behind Pure Country even remotely set their sights on the Academy Awards. Plainly put, this was a flick made to entertain country music audiences (especially George Strait fans) across the world – which it did, and quite outstandingly too. All things considered, it still is a feel-good movie with a slew of dazzling tracks from one of the greatest country stars on the planet. I’d go a million miles to watch George perform, and that’s as ‘Strait’ as it gets!
