[2] Directed by John Lavin, the film follows the cross-country journey of identical twins Gary and Larry Lane to deliver to Dolly Parton a screenplay they wrote, which includes a role for her.
[5] Twin brothers Gary and Larry Lane, originally from Goldsboro, N.C., have written a screenplay entitled Full Circle with a role specifically for their idol, Dolly Parton.
[3] Unsuccessful in their efforts to bring the screenplay to the singer-actress's attention,[6] the brothers travel in an RV from Los Angeles, where they reside, to Dollywood, Parton's theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
the Lanes revise their screenplay, endure a tornado, meet everyday Americans, and talk about their experiences growing up gay in North Carolina.
[7] Parton's music, including hits such as I Will Always Love You, Coat of Many Colors, and Jolene[7] and two previously unreleased songs Celebrate the Dreamer in You and The Sky is Not the Limit, serve as a backdrop throughout the film.
[9] The Lane twins donate 10 percent of each DVD and Blu-ray sale to the Imagination Library, an organization administered by Parton's Dollywood Foundation.
[2] The New York Times review of the film said, "The optimism and good humor of John Lavin's crude, endearing documentary...are so unquenchable that its disturbing underlying theme — growing up gay in the South is no picnic — is partly obscured by its openheartedness.
