If you're looking for a true sequel to 'Pure Country', you will not find that here. Christopher Cain has completely re-imagined the concept of the first film and now it involves angels from heaven and other supernatural elements. I guess that's what happens when you allow Dean Cain (TVs Clark Kent/Superman) to help write the script.
George Strait does show up for a cameo, playing himself. That was the highlight of this 90-minute circus. It sure wasn't as heartfelt as the original, nor did it have the splendor or compassion of the original 'Pure Country'. It's a shame to allow something like this to be called a sequel to a very real film.
The supernatural, a Jerry Springer-like sequence and the storyline are just insulting to the original film, that I could have cried, just because it's so bad!

An Insult to the original Pure Country
An aspiring singer moves to Nashville and discovers what the price of fame is. Way more cheesy then the original. I say C+
An aspiring country music singer with a special gift is caught between who she is and who she wants to be. After leaving home a woman who wants to be a singer tries her luck in Nashville. She soon realizes that the price of fame is not what she thought. I am a big George Strait fan but was not a huge fan of the original apart from the soundtrack. This one was over the top cheesy. George Strait is in this one too, but playing himself. If you liked the original I'm pretty sure you would like this one too. I give it a C+.
Would I watch again? - Probably not, but I may watch first one again just to see if I remember it right.
Loved it as a stand alone not as a sequel
The original Pure Country is a classic. Too bad George Strait didn't make a real sequel. However, once you get over the shock that "Dusty" isn't the center of the new story, the second movie really grows on you. The guardian angel subplot is reminiscent of "It's a Wonderful Life." Although George Strait appears in PC2, they chose not to have him do any singing. That's the only negative about the film. A duet or two with the star, Shannon Tweed, would have been really nice!, Yes I recommend it as a stand alone not as a sequel. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 1/28/2021
