5	* MethodActing:
6	** Garrett Hedlund actually stayed in Tim [=McGraw=]'s ranch and had guitar rehearsals there so he could fully immerse himself in the mindset of a country singer.
7	** Both Garret Hedlund and Gwyneth Paltrow learned to play guitar and trained their voices for the film, so as not to rely on doubles.
8	* MissingTrailerScene: A music video for the song "Summer Girl" contains a few shots of Chiles performing in the bar that don't appear in the final film. She's shown only performing the end of the song in the actual scene.
9	* RealitySubtext:
10	** Beau was based off country singer Hayes Carll, who ended up writing most of his songs in the film.

12	* StarDerailingRole: The successive failures of this movie, ''Film/MonteCarlo2011'' and ''Film/ThatsMyBoy'' ended any chance Leighton Meester had at becoming a bankable Hollywood star. [[{{Irony}} She has found a little more success as a singer]].
