Love Dolly

Not appropriate for children. Funny for adults.

My favorite movie with Dolly Parton in it. It's a must watch if you like Dolly!

Whether you’re thinking about renting or buying it, just do it. It’s DOLLY, how can you not! Also I love her in this role cause it seems really true to her. I put this one down as a classic! Fun, funny, heart warming and Dolly… what more do you want!?!

Saw it years ago and it was good. Now it’s corny. Got older and your taste changes in movies.

My husband watched it with me & didn’t fall asleep! Lol!

Shirlee Kenyon (Dolly Parton) an out-of-work dance instructor in a troubled relationship leaves her Flat River, Arkansas home to seek a better life in Chicago where she finds work as a receptionist at a radio station. In an on-the-job twist of fate she is mistaken for a talk show psychologist and put on the air to answer callers and address their troubles in something she knows all too well herself.....bad relationships. She becomes an overnight sensation but has issues dealing with her dishonest title, 'doctor'. An undercover reporter played by James Woods threatens to uncover her true and less than shining dirt-water background and butts heads with "Dr. Shirlee's" spurned and angry hometown boyfriend. Let the romance and comedy begin. Charming through and through with a heartwarming finale. A must-see.

As always, Dolly is down-right adorable, exuding style, grace and class, and at the same time looking lovely while she shares her unique pearls of wisdom in both her dialogue and songs; the latter being largely tailor-made for the film and still strong enough to stand on their own. In addition to her remarkable singing voice, what an infectious laugh this talented lady has! James Woods is at his most charming and comedic. The cast as a whole does quite well and the story is engaging. This is a fun film that has held up well over the years. A nice respite from the cares of the world that makes you want to believe that life could really work out this way.

この映画は、1992年公開でドリーの魅力全開の作品です。残念ながら日本では劇場未公開。(後にストレート・トーク〜こちらハートのラジオ局のタイトルでビデオ化)今回の作品も、ドリーのコメディエンヌぶりが余すことなく発揮されてます。可愛い大人の女性を嫌味無く演じていて、とても素敵でした。前回のレビュー同様、この作品も国内では、未発売の為、北米版Blu-rayを購入しました。画質は一般的なBlu-rayの感じで、AQUOSのレコーダーでは問題無く再生可能でした。復刻シネマライブラリー方式で、字幕入りが発売されると嬉しいのですが。尚…他の2名のレビューは、何故かハウンドドッグのライブのレビューです(笑)

Great movie fast delivery

En España conocida como "Directamente... Shirlee" y nunca editada en Dvd. Puedo afirmar que esta edición en DVD si contiene audio y subtítulos en Español.

Dieser Film muss man auf jeden Fall in Englisch anschauen. Alleine wegen den ganz süssen, und ecjten, süd Staaten akzent von Dolly Parton. Sie ist einfach unverweschelbar.

Funny entertaining a must for your home video collection
