Hard Country by David Greene
Starting watching this expecting a slice of AIP style hicksploitation nonsense but found myself embroiled in a grim, working class family drama. The story revolves around Jodie (Kim Basinger) and Kyle (Jan-Michael Vincent) who try and keep their heads above water economically between bouts of nihilistic heavy drinking at the local bunker-like roadhouse. All I really learned from this is that Texas is a bit of a hellhole. Neither is the ending the romantic reconciliation that many believe it to be, instead it is nothing more than a grim and desperate life sentence for Jodie.… (more)
Although both stories are based on excellent works by the original authors, the derivative scripts are terrible, trite, arch, and stupid. The acting is blah, even by the "name actors" including Temple, who is not shown at her best (no singing or dancing for one thing). She is about 10 or 12 in Madeline, probably 15-17 in Princess.
The sets are cartoonish (on purpose in Madeline) and don't even come up to the standards of a mediocre High School production.
Total waste of time.
