A Country Christmas Story 2013


     Desiree Ross is 14 years old and she lives in the Appalachian mountains.  She would like to become successful playing guitar and writing songs.  Her mother is trying to discourage everything about this idea.  Desiree's dad tried to make it in country music but he's always done just OK.  

     This film has a slightly different and updated plot with a singing contest like American Idol.  I would’ve liked a little less fighting between the daughter, mother and grandmother.  Plus, a little less fighting between the mom and dad too.  They can have their differences but this is a Christmas movie after all!!  3* (This movie is OK)

120 min, TV Movie, Drama directed by Eric Bross with Desiree Ross, Megyn Price, Mary Kay Place, Preston Bailey, Brian McKnight, Dolly Parton, Ross McCall, Dillon James, Camille Sanders, Kevin Flood.

Note:  Imdb 7.2 out of 10, Amazon 4.3* out of 5* with 21 reviews.
Special Note:  Dolly Parton is a multiple Grammy Award winner and Brian McKnight is a R&B producer and singer nominated for a Grammy Award.
