Although it’s barely a movie at all ? more like a videotaped dress rehearsal where the actors are ready but the rest of the crew, not so much ? I’m going to go ahead and give Shores’s affectionate and nonjudgmental gay Southern sendup 3 stars because of the casting, some of the zingers and one liners and their delivery by charming actors, particularly Beth Grant, and the overall sweet nature of the whole project, which seems to be about recovery? from everything, in all its forms. Plus, Olivia Newton-John as a bleached-blonde lesbian singer-songwriter? What child of the 1970s hasn’t wanted to see that? She gives her all to the tiny part and to the songs, too.
