From the wires:
The film, which has screened at dozens of film festivals worldwide, now has the blessing of Parton who had nothing to do with its planning or production.
But after she saw the film, her management worked out a deal with the twins that allows them to use 15 of her songs in the film including such classics as I Will Always Love You, Jolene and Coat of Many Colors and two previously unreleased Parton tunes Celebrate the Dreamer in You and Sky is Not the Limit.
The deal for the music was finalized today. Details were not disclosed but part of the arrangement calls for 10 percent of each DVD/BluRay disc sold to benefit the Imagination Library, Parton’s literacy foundation.
Directed by John Lavin, the film chronicles the cross-country trip in a rented RV they name Jolene. The Lanes and Gary’s boyfriend Mike Bowen embark on a road trip that is also a journey of self-discovery. Also appearing early parts of the film are Oscar winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, actress Beth Grant and actors Chad Allen and Leslie Jordan.

Nice mention from the Gray Lady
Good quote from Chad Allen
From the article:
He credits director John Lavin for seeing -- from the start - the great story that needed to be told. "John just got it…he got it from the beginning that this was something a lot bigger then a drive across the country to meet Dolly."
