Review of Rhinestone

Rhinestone (1984)
3/10
I have to say that Dolly lost that bet.
19 September 2009
This film makes one wonder what the writer's of this movie were thinking. It is a pure mess, with a totally nonsensical plot and it has to be considered low points in both Dolly's and Sylvester Stallone's careers and both have done others things that are considered bad. The plot of the movie has Dolly making a bet with some guy in New York that runs a country western place that she could make the next person that came along into a better country singer than he had been hiring as of late. The last guy he hired though was the funniest thing in the movie and is the highlight as he sings a song about his beloved who died rather tragically. That to me was just great, the rest of the movie however is not and at times is very painful to watch as the next guy she sees is Sylvester Stallone's character and Sylvester can not sing in the beginning of the movie nor the end. The bet is that Dolly would have to sleep with the owner of the place which is a rather perverse bet for a PG movie and is oddly inappropriate. So you get to see her take Sylvester and to the south and try to turn him into a country music star which like I said is painful because you just do not want to hear him sing. The only other part that is sort of funny is when he is exchanging insults right before a show in the southern town. Though that pork chop insult really would have worked better for the other guy, this movie sadly will only work for a few people.
