Leave your thoughts about Honeysuckle Rose.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatHoneysuckle Rose is built upon the excellent music of Willie Nelson and Dyan Cannon's appealing performance. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThis ought to be easily told, but somehow it isn't, perhaps on account of the movie's odd casting. |
| User Reviewterabithia_worldWillie is a legend in his own time. He has thoses bedroom eyes. But one thing I love about him the most he looks alot like my dad. He is soft with his words and gentle with his heart. |
| User ReviewMegan HWhoa, I've never seen Willie like this before.. |
| User ReviewMandy HWillie Nelson is the star, when did he ever let ya down? One of my top ten favorite movies of all time. |
| User ReviewJ.J. JA great film and acting from Shotgun Willie. Great songs too |
| User Reviewshiloh wWillie Nelson, Dyan Cannon, Amy Irving & Slim Pickens star in the story of road life with country music star, Buck Bonham. Fun movie with a great soundtrack. |
| User ReviewRussell GPlot: For 20 years Buck Bonham's been singing to the country. But he never figured he'd be living his own love songs. This is a good movie with great music. Willie Nelson is the man!!! My favorite part is when Buck and Garland walk into a saloon drunk. Two deputies are eating lunch and one says "I hope neither one of you is driving". Buck and Garland both point at each other and say, "He is!". |
| User ReviewScott Rthis pic served as my intro to willie nelson & this is his first starring role |
| User ReviewTimothy SLike a good country song, "Honeysuckle Rose" rolls out all the familiar cliches making for a predictable yet comfortable film that nevertheless doesn't offer up a single surprise along the way. It deals with drinking, music and infidelity and features the acting debut of country superstar Willie Nelson. He gives a laid-back, likable and natural performance, mostly because he's playing a thinly veiled variation on himself, so it's kind of a stretch to call what he does here "acting". The film features some of the best music he's recorded as a singer, and the songs are easily the best thing about this easy-going picture. In fact, there are times during this movie's second half where the paper-thin plot almost gets in the way of the enjoyable concert footage. The story is just a vehicle to drive the picture to the next musical number, and all of the conflicts along the way are wrapped up in a tidy, convenient manner in the end. Nelson's co-star Dyan Cannon has some good moments here as his long-suffering wife, but young Amy Irving is terribly miscast as his love interest. She was seemingly cast solely on the basis of her looks. She has a nice singing voice but her performance consists mostly of staring at Willie adoringly in a manner that he mostly ignores until the end when she's completely forgotten about in favor of a happy ending. The music is the best (and some would argue, the only) reason to see "Honeysuckle Rose", a routine but slightly entertaining country song come to life. It's Willie's show all the way. |
