He was so offended by Stallone's rewrite that he briefly considered having his name removed from the film's credits, but was convinced that it would look good on his resume. Phil Alden Robinson made his screenwriting debut with this film and luckily, he didn't quit, as he went on to write All of Me and Fletch before writing and directing Field of Dreams and Sneakers. Just imagine that statement - I am someone that has sat through Troll 2 numerous times, has endured multiple Jess Franco movies in one night and has even made it through countless direct to video films that haunted the shelves of Blockbuster and West Coast Video. In the grand totality of bad movies, this might very well be the worst that I have ever endured. This is the kind of movie that Ed Wood and Claudio Fragrasso would make fun of. It's as if it sets a bar and then continually trips over it, again and again, taking down the talents of Dolly Parton, Sylvester Stallone and Bob Clark in its wake, like an endlessly swirling toilet that has transformed into a black hole where no goodness can escape.
Rhinestone achieves a level of bad movie that even I didn't know was possible. I thought I knew what bad movies were all about, but I never knew it could be like this. Reviewed by BandSAboutMovies 1 / 10 The absolute worst
Still, it's an insulting come-on to crowds of even the lowest denomination, and the smugness (especially on Stallone's part) is insufferable. It's a movie purposefully targeted at yahoos (who else would even want to see it, aside from Dolly-addicts?). There's practically no action-just mouthing off-and even Parton's grounded, natural effervescence is discarded for the sake of extremely cheap laughs. That's the whole plot, really the rest of it (ogling bar-owner Liebman, the budding romance between the two stars) is inconsequential. Country crooner Dolly Parton takes a bet (singing five more years at sleazy Ron Leibman's rowdy roadhouse) that she can turn obnoxious cab-driver Sylvester Stallone into a "Rhinestone Cowboy". Never mind that "Rhinestone" already looks like a dated relic from another was a very poor picture in its day, and time has not been kind to it.
