Country Cheese

Rating: 6/10 (24 January 2010)

Although this is a superb and credible performance by Jeff Bridges the rest of the cast is a bit thin. I do admit that I am not much of a Country music fan. There are a few too many performances in this movie of Jeff playing in front of his adoring fans – some of whom are adoring groupies.
It would have been much more credible if he would have fallen for one of those aging groupie ladies. What we get instead, is a woman who is a least half his age, swooning for him. Her performance is akin to a teenage adolescent girl making moves on a very elder high school teacher. What is it with Hollywood always believing that young girls go for old guys? The old guy, in this case, is a chain-smoking, obnoxious, whisky drinking drunkard.
The only reality dose in this movie is when Jeff phones his long abandoned son who abruptly dismisses him.
