MOVIE SYNOPSIS
Tennessee
A moving and gripping drama of sacrifice and self-discovery; Tennessee is the story of three people who strive to realize their dreams. Brothers Carter and Ellis set out on a road trip to their childhood home in a desperate search for their estranged father, who may hold the key to their future. Along the way, they are joined by Krystal, who is trying to escape a difficult life. These unlikely traveling companions are guided in their mutual journey by the conviction that the only way to a new life is overcoming their past.

The little indie "Tennessee" squeezes super-celeb diva Mariah Carey into the humble role of Texas truck stop waitress. It's a fairly meaty role (pardon the pun - she added weight for the part) and Carey does some surprisingly subtle work. She doesn't pick up a guitar and croon until the end of the movie, and even then, it's not the same gal you saw in "Glitter."
