It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I love Sylvester Stallone. I've always admired his tenacity when it comes to movies. He really did overcome some insurmountable obstacles to get where he is today on sheer work ethic & determination alone, but boy, oh, boy does this ever suck. I'll give Sly credit for willingly putting his Rocky image out there with the type of tomfoolery he was doing in this movie. It took guts for him to do this, but it's not exactly the wisest career decision he's made, and that's just for starters. Sly's character isn't exactly a charming fellow. He is supposed to be the underdog we can rally around and instead he's written as obnoxious and befuddling. His chemistry with Dolly isn't great. We don't really know what makes him tick. His character background isn't explored nearly enough. I realize it's a musical comedy, not Oscar material, but I had no reason to care about him. Stallone comes across as out of his element, despite that he tries his best and appears to be having a blast. At least it wasn't a listless performance, if not a very good one. Dolly Parton fares a bit better. She's lively, easy on the eyes, and her charm is so irresistible that she manages to overcome abhorrently awful writing. The whole plot is rather contrived as well. A bet between Dolly Parton and Rob Leibman (Jake & Freddy) to see who can develop a star in the making? That didn't fly with me. I could go on about the acres of terrible dialogue and the laughably dated outfits, but I won't.Final Thoughts: When Sly lists it as a film he wished he had never done, you know it's bad. I got a couple of unintentional chuckles out of it, but a lot of pretty bad duets and plenty of groan inducing moments to go along with it. Since I'm such a huge Stallone fan, I always found it peculiar as to why I put this off for so long, despite its reputation. Now I know why. I'd avoid temptation if I were you, unless you're a huge Stallone fan. In that case you'll most likely succumb to the temptation like I did. 3.5/10

Rhinestone isn't such a bad film. In fact, I nearly gave it an average mark. Yet there's just one too many broad comedy moments (the howling dogs alone is worth a loss of a mark) and Stallone is just too self- consciously "comedic" at points, a clear indication of why his return to comedy movies seven years later was destined to never really take off.Yet there are some genuinely amusing moments in this film, and, while far from spectacular, it's probably stronger than the current 3.2 rating would attest. But where Rhinestone is significant is that it's almost the first sign of Stallone really losing his way.To this point his was still producing creditable work, and if early 80s pieces like Escape To Victory were slight misfires, his performance in First Blood showed an actor who still wanted to act, rather than react. But in 1983 the star was paid half a million dollars to place Brown & Williamson products within five of his films, and such an ethically questionable decision presaged a huge drop in his work. This was followed by directing a sequel to Saturday Night Fever, the narcissistic and pointless Staying Alive.While Rhinestone is okay if far from spectacular, it was followed by turning both of his most famous characters into cartoonesque jokes, a failed new character in the shape of the ludicrous Cobra and a laughably bad arm wrestling movie in Over The Top. He saw out the decade with okayish features in Lock Up/Tango and Cash, but the star who entered the 80s as a genuinely worthwhile actor left that same decade as something of a joke.

Quite possibly the worst movie, ever, and way too lame and painful to even be funny. It's so hard to watch Stallone make an utter fool of himself, with his doofus voice ('Duh Duh'), and his weak chin, beaky nose, and bulgy eyes. PAINFUL! How this guy ever got to be Big Box Office is beyond me. I keep wondering how great 'Demolition Man' could have been, with a different male lead, but thankfully, that movie had a fantastic cast and was a solid story.I know Dolly has a huge fanbase, but all I could think, watching the two of them, was how like clowns they both looked. Overblown, overdone, over-inflated. Thank goodness the ladies coming out of country music now are more 'real'-looking.The best performance was by Ron Liebman, who plays a slimeball to such a degree that I felt nauseous.Parton and Stallone have absolutely no chemistry, and the music, such as it is, is horrendously awful. Protect yourself; do not ever watch this movie.

This film is definitely a goof ball but that is what it set out to be. It's totally farcical & wonderful. Favourite scenes include Steven Apostle Peck who plays Sly's dad. The first is when we meet Peck's character in the organ room & the second is the hilarious scene around the dinner table. I bust a gut watching that scene. So funny. One important thing I've learned in studying film is that there is a difference between a film you love & a great film. They can be one in the same, as is the case with a film such as The Godfather Part II. This is an masterfully made film that I enjoyed. Or they can be separate. For instance, I recognize that Slumdog Millionaire is a well made film, I just didn't like it. I didn't connect with it. I didn't care what happened. And on the converse, I recognize that Rhinestone isn't really that great a film but I really enjoyed it. I connected with the characters, it made me laugh & I generally found pleasure in it. So I rate it 10/10 for enjoyment.Love to Steven Peck
