There are some movies a person can watch over and over again without getting tired of it. This is one of those movies for me. I'll start with the soundtrack. The music is a huge part of the movie's success. You have some of the best artists of all time together on one CD, what more could you ask for?
The acting is superb, as well as the overall storyline. Some people aren't able to look past the fact that Bud and Sissy live in a trailer park. At that time in Texas that was a completely accepted way of life. To me it's all about learning a life lesson. Some of the one liners are way too funny. My personal fav is the one where Sissy says "You're not my daddy, you can't tell me what to do." My father spent a lot of time in Gilley's in the early 80's and he has said the bar was portrayed accurately.
It's a classic, if it was a bad movie it wouldn't have been so popular.
