THE MOVIE
This is a Netflix Original movie and if you are looking for a nice, feel good, “coming of age” movie then this will tick all those boxes. Also, if you are a fan of Dolly Parton then this is a must- see movie!
Don’t be put off by the fact that Jennifer Aniston stars in it as after about 5 minutes you completely forget she was Rachel from Friends.
THE SONGS
Of course, it’s going to be a Dolly Parton soundtrack but there are a few twists. There is an incredible collaboration version of ‘Here I Am’ with Sia.
There’s an amazing remix of ‘Jolene’ which will absolutely have you up on your feet and line dancing this holiday season.
