This movie reminded me in many ways of last year's The Wrestler, with Mickey Rourke. Jeff Bridges does a great job of portraying a down and out country singer, but, in the end, the movie itself is both relatively boring and uninspiring. Maggie Gyllenhaal was very good in her part, but Robert Duvall was wasted in a bit part and Colin Farrell just didn't seem to be the right person for the country singing role. The movie is worth seeing, if nothing else but for Jeff Bridges Oscar winning performance. That said, you could just as easily wait for it to come out on DVD.
