Okay, fine. This one is a gimme. I've seen it a hundred times, at least. But I did just finish it again. And when you watch a movie with the intent to write about it, your perspective sharpens. And your appreciation often does, as well. So please bear with this small town country girl, because I'm about to go on and friggin' on over a movie that has never done me wrong. It's got everything--Armadillo chasing, The Cotton-Eyed Joe, babies drinking beer in a bag, old dogs sleeping on the floor, and even some golfing tips. If you call yourself a Willie fan, and you haven't seen Honeysuckle Rose, shame on you. If you watch the intro and it doesn't make you think of a particular King of the Hill episode, shame on you again.
