Movie Haiku:Not yet seen by Rich. Jan says: OK riff on ALL ABOUT EVE set in country music world of big emotions & bigger hair. Paltrow as the star, Meester as the ingenue, & McGraw as the husband are all fine. Weakest link is Hedlund as the handsome young hunk with way too much faux integrity. Solid songs well-mounted; Paltrow sings much better than expected.
