111 mins.; color

A popular country singing star, Jake (played by Parton), boasts that she can make anybody a country sensation. She makes a bet with her manager that she can turn any normal guy into a country and western singer in two weeks. At stake is her contract and her body. The problem is that her manager can select the man, and he selects New York cab driver Nick Martinelli (played by Stallone).

Martinelli is booked to sing at a big-time country night club, and Jake works feverishly to train him for the job, complete with lessons in how to speak with a Southern accent, a fringed jacket, western shirt, tight pants, chaps and high heeled cowboy boots.
