Kenny Rogers: Coward of the Country [DVD]

I first saw this when I was in my teens and enjoyed it very much. So, I was very happy that it finally got released on DVD. And I must say that it is still as enjoyable. Kenny Rogers is excellent as Pastor Matthew and a natural. A very young Fredric Lane (from "Lost" and "Supernatural") is equally good as Tommy. I have been a fan of his since I saw him as "Tommy".Production-wise, the dvd is ok. Although the sound is good, the images are at times grainy. But it has transferred relatively well to dvd considering how "old" the original movie was. There are no extras which is a pity. It would have been nice to hear Mr Rogers and Mr Lane's take on their roles and the making of this classic.The dvd is a good buy and one to treasure for Rogers and Lane fans.

Coward of the county is one of Kenny Rogers best efforts. The story line was well set within that time period. The conflicts facing both the characters and the nation at that time stimulated the intensity of these events. All the actors played well supporting roles set within this small Georgia town. Placing you squarely in an era gone bye. The music itself was outstanding and the whole experience is well worth a repeat performance.

I have seen this on TV, and had to have it. The lesson it teaches us about control, family, love, and doing what is right for the right reason. It is a good movie. A few curse words are used, but not too bad. A family film, but not for younger than 13. Enjoy.

good condition, good price

I remembered watching this as a teenager when it was a movie made for television, and thought I liked it. I ordered it because my husband really likes the song and I told him there was a movie that went with it. It turns out that I do not like it as well as I remembered. We have 3 teenage sons and are always looking for decent, moral material that they can enjoy. This movie, if rated, should be PG-13 for thematic elements - made for an older audience. This mainly has to do with coarse innuendos, rape, and a preacher who drinks and does not live a clean christian lifestyle. We were hoping that this was a good show in which our boys could see that fighting is not always the answer. After watching this, we agreed that our kids will not see this movie. I wish I had not purshaased it at all.

Great download

Great movie i love it

Slightly disapointed with the film. I guess it is difficult to make a full length film out of a country song although 'Convoy' springs to mind as one of the exceptions. Still for the price paid I guess it was reasonable.

Another excellent DVD, well worth watching, very pleased with purchase.

Bought as a present. Person bought for likes it
