Jeff Bridges won an Academy Award® for his role as the richly comedic, semi-tragic, romantic anti-hero, Bad Blake, in the debut feature film, Crazy Heart, from writer-director Scott Cooper. Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who's had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road, and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (two-time Golden Globe®-nominee Maggie Gyllenhaal), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart. Crazy Heart won two Academy Awards® for Best Actor and Best Original Song.
When reporter Jean Craddock interviews Bad Blake—an alcoholic, seen-better-days country music legend—they connect, and the hard-living crooner sees a possible saving grace in a life with Jean and her young son.

Very DisappointedI cannot review the movie because its time ran out(24 hours) before I was able to see it, even though I had rented it for 30 days. My mistake! Will not rent from iTunes again..Score: 1/5
Beautifully made film.Great films still get made, and Crazy Heart is certainly one of them. A good story well told is always unforgettable and fills your heart, like a sweet song. This movie sings not too quiet or unnecessarily loud; Crazy Heart plays a movie of rock bottom hopelessness and a the spark of some redemption on the horizon, in the most subtle, perfect notes..Score: 5/5

Great acting, but...The acting in this movie is awesome, however the story itself isn't all that captivating. Still worth watching once though..Score: 4/5
Top drawer acting, good music but not much elseJeff Bridges is brilliant, but the character he plays is not very likable. The music is excellent, and Bridges and Farrell's singing really good, even when country is not your particular cup of tea, but the boozing and smoking are almost too much to take... Bad Blake is the original washed up singer and one has to wonder how on earth Maggie Gyllenhaal's character can possible find him attractive! The script is convincing and Robert Duvall's cameo is up to his usual high standards....Score: 4/5
AwesomeJeff Bridges is an amazing actor. This movie could easily have lost my attention but it managed to keep it and I think that it was because of the acting. Oh and the music was really good too. KARL PILKINGTONS GOT A HEAD LIKE A FRICKING ORANGE.Score: 5/5

Great performance - storyline a stretch...Great performance by Bridges, and good soundtrack (and I'm NOT a C&W fan). However, the fact that a reasonably intelligent mother, who has been burned once, fall for an older, gross has-been is just not credible on any level..Score: 3/5

Very slow paced and predictableI found this movie tedious, predictable and uninspired. So SLLLLOOOOWWWW.... Jeff Bridges performs very well, actually all the actors do, but man the story goes nowhere fast. Watch the trailer you will have seen the whole movie and won't have to waste 2 hours watching it. I was really disappointed, Rotten Tomatoes had given it a 90% or something, so I was expecting something really great... it was not..Score: 2/5
Crazy HeartJeff Bridges is amazing. Everyone is ,even the four year old. This is an old worn out story but the acting, the music, some of the lines are oh so good and I'll be remembering this one for a long time..Score: 5/5
Crazy HeartEarly in the movie, Bad says "I'm 57 years old and I'm flat broke". It could be anybody. We walk with him through the darkness, the sorrow, and the loss that so many are already familiar with. Bridges towers in this movie. Even if you are not a C & W fan, this movie will auger its way to your heart..Score: 5/5
