When Dolly Parton lost her baby brother very young she almost every night went to his grave and just talked with, and she blamed God for Larry's death, It took everything out of her, and then Dolly's mom got so depressed, all that she ddi some days was think about Larry, and just sit and do nothing and feel sad. Dolly Parton, the Tennessee songbird, has made a television movie out of the coat of rags her mama made for her, back in Locust Ridge, and of the song she later wrote about it. Like that song, it is called "Coat of Many Colors," but it is many times longer and more involved than its musical inspiration, which gets its job done in less than three minutes. The film is set in Parton's own Smoky Mountains childhood, which, as in the many songs she has written about it, is presented as alternately, even simultaneously, idyllic and impoverished -- "The Good Old Days When Times Were Bad," to take the title of another Parton song. Despite myriad challenges that fill out these two hours -- poverty, drought, worms on the tobacco leaves, bullies at school, the loss of a child, depression, marital alienation and family planning -- it's the idyllic that lingers. Dolly Parton has always had a heart to share her stories with her fans over the decades, and Dolly Parton's Coat of many Colors tells only one of her thousand stories. Like Parton's music, it manages to be somehow clear- and misty-eyed at once, a mix of the natural and the sentimental. As a mischievous innocent whose misadventures bind the film's adults together and the lens that allows them to see each other straight, little Dolly is not a hoot and a holler from the kind of parts Shirley Temple played, even farther back in history; as regards Alyvia Alyn Lind, who plays her, the words "adorable moppet" are not far off the mark. The coat of many colors is also in the Bible, Genesis 37:3 , "Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours.". So there's more to this story than meets the eye. Dolly Parton has changed many lives, supported people that have nothing, Dolly grew up very poor and grew up to have everything.

This is a sweet and endearing story about Dolly Patton's early years and the inspiration for her coat of many colors song. Dolly's life and family was filled with love, hardship and faith. It was generous for her to share such an inspirational and uplifting story with the world. I was just glancing through the movie photos and I came across one with the real Judy Ogle and Dolly with the girl who played her childhood friend Judy. That filled me with such joy that they could still be friends today. Thank you for sharing, Dolly. Merry Christmas!

I look forward to seeing this movie every Christmas, but somehow I cannot find it to watch. What happened to the good, clean Christmas movies? This should be a yearly Movie just like Rudolf, Frosty, etc.

Watching this movie gave me great insight on how Dolly Parton grew up. The cast was great and helped tell her story perfectly in my opinion, congratulations to you all. It shows her sweet, soft but yet tough side which I am sure is what has carried her until today. I learned things I did not know about her family and lessons I will carry with me to mine. It very much so is a MUST SEE! I know she can put tears in my eyes and they delivered. Thanks for bringing this life and I look forward to a miniseries coming, I know there is a lot more that can be said and music along the way to enjoy! Mark Adams Winston-Salem, NC 27103 12/29/2015

Recently my family watched Dolly Parton's stupendous "Coat of Many Colors" and though I have long been a fan of her music and movies, I felt she/her company have crafted one of the best God-honoring films ever offered on national television! There were parts I am not ashamed to tell you that made this grown man tear up a little. Everyone in the movie is excellent and values such as forgiveness, love, faith during difficult and joyous times (perseverance), and the power of redemption, abiding faith in God, and the focused love of family that is centered upon surrendering ultimately not to one another but to God Almighty - all came shining through this wonderful film. Years ago I reached one of Dolly Parton's songwriters almost by accident on the phone when seeking permission to seek on of her songs "Make Love Work" in church. I was given permission and sang the song subsequently. That Sunday I left church and (riding high on the words that suggested "...we've got to try a little bit harder to make love work") - briefly reunited with my own estranged parents. I mention this as I recalled the occasion and singing the song while watching the story of Dolly's family and their strong faith and her God-given talents in "Coat of Many Colors". To all who were involved in this film - it will long remain with me and my entire family was grateful to see a true gem that sparkled on national TV with the values we hold most dear to us - especially the one that holds a vital faith in God focused clearly right up front. Thank you for all those involved....and Dolly...May God continue to bless you and use you for His glory. I hope you make Part 2 soon and share more of your life and faith. Terrific scenery/sets, acting, plot, dialogue, and a clear Godly focus made this movie terrific. It truly blessed my family. Thanks Dolly (and others).

A television film that I was eager to watch it since it is highly acclaimed. It is a Christian film, which won't mind, but they have highlighted that topic too strongly. What I've anticipated was something like 'Love Comes Softly'. Since it went on that way, missed the opportunity to be balanced in content. Now it is a target product for the believers. If you won't mind that, then it will be a good film that shows lots of good sides by pointing out the bads. Based on the true story, that sets in the 1955, tells the story of a big farmer family living on the mountain, but all the focus was one of the children named Dolly. She's different than rest of her siblings. She's curious about the world, so mischievous and a good singer too. Her latest trouble takes a big price. Following, the family in a distress, that's going to change a few things forever in her life and everybody else. First of all I know zero about the real Dolly Parton. Thanks to this film for her early life introduction, but still don't know much about her latter life. So expecting from the sequels to cover them up. For now, there's only one sequel, about the Christmas. Alyvia was really good. She reminded Abigail Breslin from 'Kit Kittredge'. The film mainly aimed for families, so they would surely enjoy it. I liked it too, but not that overexcited as before my watch. 6/10
