    This film is about an aging country star (played by a singing Jeff Bridges) whose life is falling apart. On the surface the movie should work - it is a touching story (and one that's been told many times before) about a man who is slowly falling apart. The acting was solid, the setup was good... everything seemed to be in place for a great film. And it missed. Don't get me wrong - it was still well worth the time but I never really felt a connection with the characters or the story. Maybe a little more despair at the beginning would have helped, although maybe that would have just ended up in a "Leaving Las Vegas" knockoff. Good movie but by no means great.
