Crazy Heart
The life of a miserable music singer, Bad Blake, who suffers from smoking and the bad lifestyle he has that threatens his life, has been changed completely, when he meets the young smart journalist that wants to write an essay about his life, as he falls deeply for her and begins a new life.

Basically a live-action version of the cliche country-western song with a man down on his luck and losing everything in his life, it comes close to being a joke about itself.

Played by a gracefully aging Jeff Bridges, Bad is an older, greasier and groggier version of The Dude

Crazy Heart feels familiar, even comforting, offering few surprises but a wealth of lovingly crafted, immaculately judged, wholly authentic emotion.
