The Nashville-set romance-drama The Thing Called Love starring River Phoenix and Samantha Mathis hits all the right notes for youth entertainment regarding the serendipity of setting-specific human destiny. This is a very entertaining movie to review, as you'll see!
====
The story opens with the young and aspiring country rock musician Miranda Presley moving on her own to Nashville to land a record contract at a signing nightclub owned by Lucy. During her adventures in Nashville, Miranda meets the talented town country musician James Wright and falls in love with him and marries him for a short time.
As Miranda and James struggle with their individual country music careers and come to terms with the differences in their personalities, they learn to build more objective and mature bridges to forge a healthier bond between each other. Their two town buddies in Nashville, Kyle and Linda Lue, are developing their own sense of individuality amidst all this soul-searching. There's some great fun with country music during all this storytelling.
Kyle and Linda Lue offer some searing and sensitive background characters and plot developments as Miranda and James provide most of the centric romantic drama. In fact, Sandra Bullock's turn as the pensive if emotional Linda Lue offers the right tone for this Nashville-culture movie!
What sets this very unusual and very under-rated American movie about country music and southern charm and sensitivity is how it caters to a youthful sensibility about nostalgic memories about regrets regarding love itself. This is a terrific film for someone in your life you're remembering because they're simply parted lovers from high-school or college! I give it at least 3/5 stars. This would make a terrific Blu-ray movie, once it comes out on Blu-ray finally.
