Sweetwater Trailers

In 1969, the band Sweetwater led by lead vocalist Nansi Nevins opened Woodstock and subsequently got considerable media attention, appearing on a number of TV shows. But just as they appeared to be getting a really break big, they just disappeared. Thirty years later, a cable TV reporter for MIX TV, a musical station, is removed from her show because of being stoned on air. Her station gives her a choice of being dismissed or investigating what happened to Sweetwater. A blending of modern day fiction and past fact is then blended in this biographical story.

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Micransix Crappy film
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
jehanzaib11 I congratulate director Lorraine Ferrera for directing such a great movie.I am a big fan of Kelli Williams and yes nobody could have done it better than Amy Jo who played the lead singer role.It was my first time I heard about sweetwater as when i was gowing up,it was ABBA of Sweden that made to the top in the charts in Pakistan.Yes,i will buy the sweetwater album after this movie... I give this movie 2 thumbs up always... jehanzaib khan
Juliet Gabriella Kaleigh I first saw Sweetwater on the day it aired in VH1. The movie was good, I am a regular watcher of the show Felicity, in which Amy Jo Johnson stars. The girl was the perfect choice for Nancy Nevins, she has a great voice of her own. Nancy Nevins was infamous for about two you years,but that ended quickly when her voice was spoiled. She became adepressed,moneyless,drinker. She found out that her mother had cancer all at the same time. Nancy brought herself back up from the devil.
Watcher-37 The movie Sweetwater wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't a great one either. Amy Jo Johnson and Michelle Phillips share the role of Nansi Nevins, a singer for the movie titled band, Sweetwater. The band was the first one onstage for the original Woodstock concert, and this movie captures the events leading up to the festival, and what happens to them, and particularly Nevins afterwards. For me the movie seemed a little rushed, and the whole idea of the reporter, played by Kelli Williams from TV's The Practice, tracking her down for a piece on the anniversary of Woodstock was supposedly not even true, according to an accompanying documentary about the making of the movie. The music in the movie was pretty good stuff and Johnson's vocals played against the original band's music was pretty good. A good first outing for VH-1, but there is still room for improvement.
bobo89 This film was basically Velvet Goldmine if the writers of party of five got a hold of it and made it a t.v. movie. The film lacks what Velvet Goldmine had which was good acting, writing, and basically everything else. The film had some of the worst writing I've seen since Wild Wild West. It definitely needed to be interesting. I know vh 1 has become a household name for their behind the music shows. which are a lot better than all this which would have worked if it was a behind the music episode but didn't and feel flat on it's face.
