"Crazy Heart" is a movie worth paying to see in the theater. The music is very good. I'm thinking about buying the soundtrack. I'm a rock and roll person but I did like this old-time country sound. The scenery (Arizona) is beautiful. I like road trips. The story is about a musician (a blend of Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and Waylon Jennings). The musician is named Bad Blake. Bad is appropriately named because he does not take responsibility for anything. He drinks too much, smokes too much, eats too much. He's a mess. For some reason (and this is the only part that is not believeable) a young reporter falls for him. She allows him to join in the life she has set up with her four year old son. Bad Blake, true to his name, messes up big time and looses the boy at a shopping mall while getting a drink. Not until the very end of the show can Bad be good and put someone else's needs ahead of his own for once. Great story.
