About this movie

When down-on-her-luck country girl Shirlee Kenyon (Dolly Parton) walks through the wrong door at the right time, she accidentally becomes Chicago's newest talk-radio celebrity and turns the Windy City's hottest radio station upside down! With her homespun wit and down-home advice, Shirlee immediately wins listeners' hearts -- but causes hilarious confusion for her ratings-conscious boss (Griffin Dunne) and comical havoc for the investigative reporter (James Woods) trying to uncover her mysterious past! If you're looking for no-nonsense advice on what hit movie offers you pure entertainment -- you'll love every comical minute of STRAIGHT TALK!

Hilarious, under-rated and a must-see. Very 1990s flick, complete with radio psychology. So long as you are looking for a funny movie without being too serious, you have a winner here.

From beginning to end. This movie just makes you feel good. The opening song of the movie is my motivational song . Dolly Parton is my idol and has been since I was 15. She has a beautiful soul . She is truly amazing with her song writing. I think anyone that needs a little bit of anuplifting message, should definitely watch this movie.
