PRODUCT REVIEWS

Raylene Delaney, aka Red (Krew Boylan), works daily as a real estate agent. When she is not working, her passion lies in all things Dolly Parton, including dressing up like her, re-enacting lines of her dialogue, and singing all her songs. For Red, Dolly means everything to her; she even finds the many one-liners Dolly has said in the past still highly encouraging when she comes across a problem. But when Red gets fired over a sexual harassment claim and misbehaving with staff, she's forced to rethink her life. Soon, Red decides to aim big and do something unlike anything before. Pouring herself a cup of ambition, she aims to become the ultimate Dolly Parton impersonator, which she hopes will lead to fame and fortune. Red’s auditions are successful, and she soon finds a romantic match- a man impersonating Kenny Rogers (Daniel Webber), who never breaks out of character. Now Red is starting to fall into a rabbit hole where she is becoming more like Dolly and a lot less Red. Can Red rediscover herself and learn who she is? Firstly, if you’re going into this film thinking it's a biopic picture, you are in for a huge shock. Seriously, Red is a comedy with many rude moments and humour. The film introduces many dramatic themes, especially Red learning to be happy with herself or wanting to get proper respect from others, including her mother. When it comes to comedy and gags, I found some moments that provided little chuckles, primarily due to Red’s attitude and determination to be Dolly. The film has other solid gags, but sadly, they are also repetitive and lack the original surprise. One example is when Red meets a professional impersonator of Elvis (Rose Byrne). There are some great moments, but the more times Elvis reappears, the less funny. There are moments of comedy designed to shock audiences, and naturally, the reception to this will vary among the crowd. Most of these crude gags didn’t work for me and left me baffled, as if the jokes were a major misfire. One example is when a character explains why her name is Teeth. This moment only left me stunned, with my eyebrows raised as it felt like a poor attempt to obtain a response from its audience. Overall, movie buffs will be shocked if expecting a Dolly biopic picture. There’s a witty and fun performance on show here from the actress Krew Boylan who is energetic with great line delivery. Those who love a bit of Dolly will also enjoy the various musical numbers and the Kenny Rogers impersonator around the corner. However, while I admired that the film was following Dolly’s advice that “You’ll never do a lot unless you’re brave enough to try,” this film just wasn’t for me. While the performances are remarkable, I’m disappointed that the film dragged on longer than needed. Watching someone achieve self-discovery by going around in circles and continually making questionable choices is hard sometimes. The comedy and random gags don’t always land firmly, with most crude gags misfiring here. * This review has been written for Sanity.
