Straight Talk (1992)

Fired from her job as a dance instructor, Dolly Parton drops her useless boyfriend Michael Madsen and heads to the big city of Chicago in pursuit of something better. Finally hired as a receptionist at a radio station, she stumbles into a studio and successfully takes over for their new talk therapist. The rest of the plot centers on hiding her lack of qualifications (something she doesn’t want to do) with more men treating her badly, including James Woods in one of the strangest romantic pairings in existence. Luckily Dolly is so utter charming because she’s the absolute only reason to watch, but she does indeed make it watchable.
