This WOULD Make Scrooge Smile
One of Dolly Parton’s more popular songs is “Coat of Many Colors.” The song tells a story of how momma Parton sewed together a coat from an assortment of colorful rags. This movie is an adaption of that song and episode in Dolly’s childhood. The movie is a well-constructed production: the script is tight and witty, the acting ensemble was well cast, an ample budget is evident, and many timely messages were conveyed. Alyvia Alyn Lind portrays young Parton, and does an excellent job. Lind is a fresh, plucky young actress who provided a consistent tone through the whole movie. Cast as her mother, Jennifer Nettles compliments Lind with an equally quality performance. Country music fans know Nettles can sing, but who knew she could act! She comes across as a seasoned veteran. Ricky Schroder, though not given much opportunity to show the depth of his acting skills, holds down his part as father Parton. The remaining Parton clan is cast with young actors who generate authentic chemistry. Thanks to a well written script, many of the young actors were provided with funny and entertaining lines that reminded me of the ensembles from the Little Rascals/Our Gang series. This event in Dolly’s life may not have happened exactly as portrayed in the movie, but nonetheless, the sentiments and messages of love, tolerance, forgiveness, friendship, patience – and other ideals – are well presented without coming across too sappy. All in all, the movie is a quality family movie which can be viewed multiple times. Unfortunately, it seems like these types of movies are harder and harder to come by. This movie would make Scrooge smile!
