another sloppy movie about a drunk with a sloppy actor

Rating: 1/10 (3 October 2011)

I don't get why Jeff Bridges keeps doing these movies about sloppy people. I thought it stunk. He could do movies about people who CARE about their lives, how short life is, the meaning of life, the innate goodness of people, but no, he keeps doing sloppy movies about sloppy people who sloppily meander through life. Pretending that there is some redeeming quality to this movie is just that -- a pretense. The music was third-rate, heck, I can sing better than that in the shower. Even the guitar playing was 'average high schooler'. What was the point of this movie? It was depressing. I think that Mr. Bridges probably has a pretty good life so he doesn't realize that the goal of Hollywood should be to ENTERTAIN not to depress. He makes hopeless movies just like Steven King writes hopeless books.
