Not bad, but I'm not a big fan of country music. There are some oldies that I enjoy, but I don't really like the sound overall. I'm more of a rock and metal guy. Of course, the majority of the new stuff I think is awful. As for the movie…

One reviewer compared this to Tender Mercies. This is not at all like Tender Mercies. What a great movie and soundtrack!

I really didn't know that Jeff Bridges is a country western singer. I guess that helps explain how he was so able to play a country western singer! Hopefully he is not an alcoholic, as he often made me angry drinking and screwing up his…

It's hard to criticize any movie starring Jeff Bridges and Robert Duvall, but when the credits rolled I was thinking, I saw this exact same storyline back in the 1980s: Tender Mercies. So, to me, this film was severely beaten to the punch…

Movies about down-and-outers trying for one more kick at redemption are as old as Hollywood itself and director Scott Cooper’s hooch & cigarettes saga, based on the novel by Thomas Cobb, doesn’t really add anything new to the convention. …

Bad Blake - the name of Jeff Bridges’ fictional country music icon - is a burnout surviving on the weight of his name. In between lonesome boozy nights, chain-smoking, and hangovers, he’s sauntering down the highway to nowhere. Opportunity…

Jeff Bridges delivered a rock-solid performance, including doing the actual singing, as the aging, chain-smoking and alcoholic country singer trying to redeem himself and begin writing songs again. I have never been a fan of country music…

I think this film was just OK. An over used formula and it was a little too predictable for me.

There are plenty of movies out there about troubled yet talented stars. So, although there is nothing new to this story, Jeff Bridges and Bad Blake’s soulful music make “Crazy Heart” worth watching.

Jeff Bridges delivers a great, Oscar winning performance as Bad Blake, a down and out country singer making one last comeback. Highly recommended. Anyone who enjoyed this movie should seek out a movie called Tender Mercies - a similar…

A very convincing performance by Bridges as the man who we watch unravelling as he travels across country to another dead end gig. Jack Daniels is his only best friend now,Bad Blake who once was "IT" is lost in a drunken bored…

Lived up to my (high) expectations. Bridges his usual nuanced performance, Duvall and Farrell outstanding in supporting roles. Gyllenhaal perhaps the weakest main character but fault is in the writing not her acting.

Jeff Bridges is outstanding. Heartfelt story. Well done.

What everyone said, except...the music's not so hot. So who cares if Bad Blake makes a comeback? There's plenty more where that came from, on any New Country station.

What a pleasant surprise. A friend had warned me that this movie was a bit of a downer, but I disagree. Jeff Bridges is phenomenal. His Bad Blake is smarmy, boozy, beer-gutted and so oily you're tempted to blot the TV screen with your…

Jeff Bridges certainly deserved his Oscar for this role as an aged, boozing country singer that is depressing, funny and heartbreaking to watch all at the same time.

A+ for Jeff Bridges!!!!! B+ for the DVD.

A comeback story in a country western genre. This movie is somewhat similar to Robert Duvall's tour de force titled Tender Mercies. There are plenty of ups and downs in this movie. The music is good and Jeff Bridges as Bad Blake is very…

terrific film - old and somewhat predictable story line, but jeff bridges is aging gracefully - a perfect role for him, and the great music score, believable romance, the tragedy and the glory --- 2 oscars and i can see why -- i am not the…

Jeff Bridges at his best. The movie is a character study of washed-up hard-livin' & hard-drinkin' Bad Blake. Definitely an Indie-house feel about the movie. I had heard there was nothing to this movie but an Oscar-nominated song and that…

Good - Crazy Heart (2009) 112 min. Jeff Bridges deservedly won an Oscar for best actor for his portrayal of an alcoholic. The story could’ve been a little more exciting though as some scenes drag on. But overall, the film provides a good…

Good acting...mediocre story and ending.

Honestly, I wasn't that impressed. The film was pretty bland, the songs were dull, and Jeff Bridges has had much better performances in the past.
