Kenny Chesney Movie Doesn't Need Fast Forward
Kenny Chesney and his team arranged for a media screening of his new movie, Kenny Chesney: Summer in 3D, in Franklin, Tenn., this morning (April 13), so I grabbed a seat in the last row to check it out. That's partly because I always like to sit in the back row at any concert (to gauge the crowd reaction) and also because I wasn't sure if I'd get into the 3D aspect of it. A little bit of that goes a long way with me, but I have to say, it's a lot of fun and the movie goes by pretty quickly. I can't recall how many Chesney concerts I've covered -- probably five or six -- and watching this film is just like being pressed up against the catwalk at a Chesney show. You get to see his facial expressions and (surprisingly) even his tears. Plus, he sings several of my favorites, such as "Big Star," "Living in Fast Forward" and "Anything but Mine."
Chesney himself welcomed the small press corps to the theater, then politely ditched us because he wants to wait until Las Vegas to see it on the big screen. Sometimes I get nervous about how country music will be represented on the big screen but Chesney does us proud. And if you are going to have a hard time waiting until the film opens nationally on April 21, check out this photo gallery from his live shows.

Thank you for this article, and thank you for the movie review - I am so anxious to see the movie. I was at the Indy concert and SAW those tears in person as well as cried a few of my own as most of the crowd. Kenny is such a special entertainer - and I know this movie will be the next BEST thing to being at a concert in person.

I too have been to several of Kenny’s shows and loved every one. I am just wondering how long his 3D Concert Show is? I am looking forward to seeing it.
Really? says:
I just don’t get why anyone would want to see it. The only draw for me is the party in the lot…Chesney isn’t that great of a performer IMO.
Me says:
Cant wait! He is awesome :)

I attended the movie premier last night in Knoxville Tn. and it was absolutley AMAZING!!!!!! We had a blast! The movie was just like being at his show! : ) **but as close as you can possibly get** Kenny arrived on the Red Carpet and he walked down the line of fans and signed autographs! He is just a BEAUTIFUL man!
We will miss you this summer but you deserve the break!!
Love you Kenny!
Love,
Brandy Holder : )

My birthday is next week. Hopefully I can talk my husband into taking me to see the movie for my birthday. He loves to tease me about my Kenny obsession!

I went and saw the movie last night, 4/28, and it was great. It was the concert that I won’t see of him this year. Movie was great, it was nice to see Tampa Stadium in there. See you next year Kenny !!!
