Credible Blues and Incredible acting

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2012)

I'd heard about this movie for years... usually attached to the fact that Ricci went a portion of the movie topless or scantily clad. But in the scheme of the movie...it wasn't about sex and nudity. it was about realising what you got, and what happens when you jeopardise what you got. It's also about The Blues too!
Yeah, Jackson ain't the best singer... but damn, he sure can play! Numerous times my foot was tapping away.
Ricci and Jackson were really involved into their characters (Ricci staying in 'character' by staying scantily clad on set much to Jackson's chagrin and Jackson learning to play the guitar) and it certainly showed on screen.
Timberlake certainly showed promise as an actor as this was one of his early movie roles and was a credible supporting actor.
By the end of the movie you learn that the one that can control your issues are you, yourself. People can help, but only you can make the changes!
