Since I don't like country music, but I do like JC's voice, it's a major disappointment that JP is singing all the JC songs. But I previously rated this 3/5 on Netflix, so I sat through it.
Based on book by JC. Drug abuse, violent property destruction that makes me fear physical abuse, childhood trauma (brother killed by table saw malfunction) all make for an unpleasant tale. Doesn't make me appreciate JC any more.
Avoid.
