  That is exactly what Dolly does in this move. Tells it as it is. Another classic.

  What can I say - it's Dolly Parton!
  
  Dolly is a pleasure to watch - she's great and this film is enjoyable enough. Enjoy if you're a Dolly fan!

  funny, fantastic and Dolly!
  
  Not Gone With The Wind but 90 mins of escapism. Dolly Parton is fantastic as Dr Shirlee. Great soundtrack as well.

  Classic Movie!
  
  Very enjoyable. Plot a bit weak but Dolly Parton has some classic one liners.
  
  You dont have to work at this film, it just rolls over you. Enjoy!
