Box Office Amy Nicholson Both sincere and cynical in its view of country stardom, Country Strong is a charmer that makes you forgive all of its false notes simply because the talent plays them with conviction. | 13 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Country Strong is one of the best movies of 1957, and I mean that sincerely as a compliment. | 13 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli Although I will not argue that the whole cloth from which the story has been cut contains its fair share of familiar and/or overused situations, the narrative is surprisingly engaging, the character relationships contain aspects of complexity, and the ending does not give in to the temptation to be too facile. | 13 | |
Rolling Stone Peter Travers Country Strong? Talk about a title scam job. This lame-ass chick-flick sampling of Crazy Heart is more like country Kryptonite. | 5 | |
ScreenIt C. Fuchs Country Strong makes the tragic mistake of heading down a familiar country road filled with too many frame-bending, tire-flattening and teeth jarring potholes. | 7 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer The cast gives it their all, and Paltrow handles her songs with aplomb, but Country Strong's cliched, disjointed screenplay hits too many bum notes. | 4 | |
