It's all about forgiveness. It always is. "Honeysuckle Rose' delivers that message home like few movies ever have. I've seen this movie a bunch of times (I've listened to the soundtrack dozens of times) but I still spend the last forty-five minutes or so of this movie a crying mess. Every time I sit down to watch "Honeysuckle Rose" I always forget have a tissue within reaching distance. It's a great movie that happens to have an over-the-top soundtrack.
