The Blockbuster by our house, along with many other locations, is going out of business. So, they are selling all of their movies for very low prices and we bought a few. Ok...5.
Crazy Heart was the only one neither of us had seen so we sat down to watch it and WOW was it great!

Jeff Bridges plays a "past his prime" Country music star named Bad Blake. He has gone from the top of the charts to playing dives and bowling alleys. He has also become/been a heavy drinker and is lost in his downward moving life and career. But at a gig in New Mexico he meets Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who inspires him to re-evaluate his life.
The characters in this story are lovable, and the actors do a wonderful job portraying them. Jeff Bridges totally deserved the Oscar for this! And Maggie Gyllenhaal was equally impressive.
The music was also great! And did a good job moving along and telling the story.
And SURPRISE who knew that Colin Ferrel was in this?? Not us, but he was a welcomed addition to the cast and did a wonderful job. One of my favorite roles of his. Not a huge part but a wonderful character.
All in all this movie was fantastic. I am suggesting it to all of my friends! This is a must see!
