Rhinestone (1984)

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

A country music star must turn an obnoxious New York cabbie into a singer in order to win a bet. Just finished watching 'Rhinestone' and to be honest i don't get the hate it got it was a fun and hilarious romantic comedy. With Sylvester Stallone going against type and giving one heck of a perfomance and Dolly Parton did a terrific job as well both acting and singing wise. The scenes where Stallone was singing and a funeral was happening under his apartment or when he started screaming, yelling and singing and the dogs and animals started running away were hilarious. This is an 80's underrated flick and nowhere near as bad as let's say fellow Arnie's Batman and Robin. (10/10)

I was 9 years old when this movie came out and I saw it then and have seen it HUNDREDS of times(literally!!!)since. I'm watching it right now even with my two daughters and my 3 step kids. When my sisters and I were growing up we had the VHS tape and would watch it over and over and over again. We LOVE it!! It is hilarious!!!!! I agree with all the posts on here that gave the movie good reviews. It's not a movie with hidden meaning or to be taken too seriously. Just prop your feet up, relax, grab a cold one and crack up laughing. That's all you need to do! It's very entertaining fun! And my sisters and I quote the movie constantly. We have the whole movie memorized and LOVE to quote it! I highly recommend seeing it.

I will start off with the good things. Rhinestone is for me not Stallone's worst film, that dishonour goes to Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot, and it is not Bob Clark's worst either, look at the Baby Geniuses movies, both of those make Rhinestone look like Citizen Kane. And I personally liked the music and the scene in the funeral home is hilarious. However, Sly and Dolly Parton have little or no chemistry here, and while Parton brings some vigour Stallone is only so-so. As for his singing, while nothing extraordinary it was actually passable. What I did not like about Rhinestone though was its poor direction, slack pacing, predictable story and awful script, while the cinematography and such are nothing to rave about either. Overall, it isn't the worst film of all time or anything but it should have been much better than it was. 4/10 Bethany Cox

I remember RHINESTONE's extremely short tenure in theaters when I was a teenager but never saw the film until it turned up unexpectedly on Country Music Television (CMT) earlier this week. I sat down expecting to laugh AT the movie, not WITH it, because on paper, the idea of Sylvester Stallone learning to become a country singer so that Dolly Parton can win a bet with her sleazy manager sounds like a train wreck of Biblical proportions. But y'know what? In spite of myself I found myself chuckling at the screwball humor in RHINESTONE. Stallone is not exactly known for his comedic stylings, but I have to give him credit, he gave it the old college try in his role as a mumble-mouthed NYC cabbie who tries hard to discover his inner redneck. Dolly Parton, well, she's Dolly Parton. She made quite a few movies in the late 70s and early 80s and though she may not be considered a great actress, she's light, funny, and easy on the eyes as well. Some of the priceless moments include Sly's fringed, sparkly stage wear (which wouldn't have looked out of place in the Blue Oyster Bar of "Police Academy" fame), Dolly punching out Tim Thomerson (Jack Deth would be horrified at how easily she took him out!), and Sly's race through the mean streets of 1984 Times Square on horseback to rescue Dolly from her manager's clutches. On the musical side, well, let's just say I doubt that the soundtrack album to RHINESTONE burned up the charts back in '84. Dolly can sing anything and make it sound good, so Sly should be grateful that she joins him on stage in the big finale to salvage his "performance" (and I use that term loosely). I doubt Sly Stallone looks back on this movie with much fondness, but considering that I was expecting a total cheese fest I was pleasantly surprised by this fluffy '80s comedy. They really don't make'em like this anymore.
