The film is perfectly acceptable, but it's outdone in every way by last year's The Wrestler.

Jeff Bridges has a hard time making a shit movie. If you told me the plot of this film, I'd assume the movie was boring, but in reality it's quite entertaining and really works. Even Colin Farrell was decent, and Robert Duvall was an unexpected treat.

Some parts drags, and others are rushed through. Entertainment value is low, especially if country music for you is torture, as it is for me. Acting is good, but performance by Bridges is hardly best of the year. Story is formulaic, everything you think will happen happens. Directing is only decent. Forgettable.

A quiet descent movie about the obstacles of live, and that itīs never to late to change bad things into something good for a personal happy end. Brigdes acts brilliant, as itīs always the case. The score is very nice, if you like country music. Good Movie!

On first viewing, Crazy Heart seemed like a pretty good movie with one great performance. After a second time through, it's sneaking up on the title of my favorite film of the year.

Both heart warming and wrenching in equal measures, "Crazy Heart" is a breath of fresh air and doesn't succumb to the usual cliches of this genre. Jeff Bridges is completely believable in his role and performs to his usual godlike standards.

Bridges was, as usual, fantastic -- especially his singing and guitar work. His scenes with Gyllenhaal's kid were among the best in the film. I had a few minor complaints: I don't buy Colin Farrell as a country singer, rehab is NOT that easy (especially for a 57 year old lifetime drunk) and the writing was ridiculously predictable. All that aside, I would definitely watch this again. "That's good, bad."

Jeff Bridges turns in a praise-worthy performance in a run-of-the-mill Oscar bait movie if ever there was one. This is this year's 'The Wrestler,' but 'Crazy Heart' isn't as impacting. The relationships and plot developments are by-the-numbers. It's a satisfactory movie with all the trappings of alcohol abuse and relational dysfunction with a country music backdrop. The film will be remembered solely as the vehicle for which the Academy paid Jeff Bridges his due, and nothing more.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the vehicle for redemption/undercooked romance for alcoholic folk singer Genially Grizzled Blake in typical Oscar bait fare. Crazy boring.

A great performance by Jeff Bridges, an ok film. I couldn't help but thinking of the superior 'The Wrestler' pretty much all the way through this. Having said that I did enjoy it an awful lot - mainly due to Bridges - and the soundtrack was good too. It's a simple plot simply executed raised by Jeff Bridges and Gyllenhaal, not much more to say really.

I will always love Jeff Bridges, and as great as he is here, I felt The Dude was a more Oscar-worthy performance. Sorry. Crazy Heart does have a few flaws. It feels a bit long and some of it is hard to believe, but I like Bridges, Robert Duvall is very funny and I actually liked Colin Farrell as Tommy Sweet. And, as a much-needed plus, the music is pretty good and I don't even like country.

The film was solid and well-acted, but I felt the story was too simple and not that original. It felt a bit cheesy, even if the performers were doing the best they could with the limited material. Above average but otherwise unremarkable.

The brilliant performances by Gyllenhaal and, especially, Bridges lend a warmth to the film. There's some very enjoyable country music. It's just another romantic movie which is nevertheless enjoyable.

A tough one to rate, more of a film for the worn out soul, slightly bogged down by peripheral characters yet the film grew on me as it progressed. Cooper fails to paint a hardhitting portrait of Blake but I enjoyed the songs and Bridges is very good (though Joaquin Phoenix ("Two Lovers) or Tahar Rahim ("A Prophet") gave better performances in 2009). I'll probably enjoy it even more in the years to come.

As great as Jeff Bridges was, and he was great, I just really couldn't get into this movie as much as I thought I would. I didn't care much for Gyllenhaal's character or her relationship with Bridges. The story constantly touches on the his relationship with Colin Farrell's character and we really don't get much out of that dynamic. A lot of people will like it and I appreciate it's merits it just wasn't a movie I'll probably ever watch again.
