A Country-Western flavored "Days of Wine and Roses"

Rating: 5/10 (14 February 2011)

Being a die-hard Jeff Bridges fan I wanted this movie to be great, or at least really entertaining. Unfortunately, it was neither.
Remarkably little happens in the movie. Bridges' character gets repellently drunk, throws up, loses a child at the mall and then has a "come to Jesus" moment and sobers up. Other than that, it's some pretty well-worn cowboy/singer fare and really mundane, ordinary life sort of stuff. It seemed much more suited for the "Hallmark" cable channel than the big screen.
Bridges was pretty good in an undemanding roll. The rest of the movie just didn't have any substance. Overall, I'd call it a "miss"...
