This Movie Gave Me a Hangover
PostedJanuary 3, 2010

from Los Angeles
With all the five-star ratings, I was expecting a home run. Instead, I got over an hour of Jeff Bridges' character drinking, puking and passing out. How many bottles of whiskey and how many scenes of him puking in waste baskets and toilet bowls do we need to see before realizing this guy needs to get sober or he’ll die? Finally, near the end, after predictably hitting bottom, he decides to get sober, and we see him redeemed.
Crazy Heart is directed, written and produced by Scott Cooper. Always a warning sign that you're in for a self-involved movie from a "auteur" who is bringing the world his vision of great art. What you really get from this movie is the desire to get a drink or go to an AA meeting for some real entertainment.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
