I hate when I get my hopes up for a film. I usually regret it.
(91) Crazy Heart (2009): OK, I can get behind Jeff Bridges winning the best acting Oscar for this film. His performance transcended an otherwise average movie. One of the fatal flaws of this film is that at an hour and fifty-one minutes, which is plenty of time to tell a decent story, this movie failed to dig beneath the surface. The only person in the film I seemed to even care about was one we never see, but only hear on the phone near the end of the movie. Overall, this story was just too disjointed to take seriously. Tighter writing, and perhaps a bit more time, would have made this film infinitely better. The only reason I'd recommend the film is to catch Bridges in an Oscar-winning role. Beyond that, meh.
