Wheeler music by Dolly Parton and Mike Post production designer, Robert F. Everyone else embarrasses themselves at some point or another.ĭirected by Bob Clark screenplay by Phil Alden Robinson and Sylvester Stallone, based on a story by Robinson director of photography, Timothy Galfas edited by Stan Cole and John W. Parton’s got a lot of presence and she and Stallone actually have what appears to be chemistry, if a lot more platonic than the narrative requires, but it’s not like she makes it worthwhile. There’s one music number I resent myself for liking and Tim Thomerson’s amusing, though not good (he’s nervous but trying to get past it). More idiotically, the film itself doesn’t take that idea seriously. Sylvester Stallone as a successful country western star is not possible. He wants to take Stallone as a country western star who dresses in an incredibly lame silver sequined cowboy outfit.
If it were Rocky with country music, it’d be a lot better.
RHINESTONE 1984 MOVIE
The movie isn’t Rocky with country music, it’s Stallone doing a “Barbarino” impression with country music. Rhinestone should, frighteningly, be better. She takes her job seriously, which is probably why her original songs for the film are good. While Parton isn’t good–it’s not possible to be good in Rhinestone–she’s earnest and she’s capable. Wheeler don’t improve during this section of the film. The film looks different too, like director Clark and cinematographer Timothy Galfas were just pretending to be wholly incompetent and they were really just pacing out this eventual payoff. When does he act well? During the ten or fifteen minutes when he’s a greased up romantic lead in some weirdly racy, somewhat wholesome perfume commercial with Parton. Sure, he’s got terrible dialogue, which he wrote for himself (along with whatever remains of Phil Alden Robinson’s original script), but he’s still not acting well. It’s like Stallone resents the stupid stuff he’s got to do but then he’s no good at the serious stuff either. Top-billed Sylvester Stallone spends the first half of the film trying too hard, seems to relax, then finishes the film not trying hard enough. He seems impatient, like he can’t wait for his scene to be over. No.With the exception of Dolly Parton, everyone involved with Rhinestone seems nervous. Rhinestone was released digitally for the first time on December 4, 2015.Īll tracks are written by Dolly Parton, with the exception of "The Day My Baby Died", words by Phil Alden Robinson and music by Mike Post.

The first time was on the 1991 album Eagle When She Flies and again on the 2002 album Halos & Horns. She also cites "What a Heartache" as a personal favorite of all the songs she has written. Parton stated in her 1994 autobiography, My Life and Other Unfinished Business, that she regards the soundtrack album as some of the best work she's done, though the film was largely regarded as a critical and commercial flop.
