I HATE country music, but I can appreciate when someone does it well. And Gwyneth Paltrow knocked this out of the park. Now, I just need to buy her new cookbook and I'll be a happy girl.
The acting was very good, but this was another one of those movies where none of the characters are very likable. I think we were supposed to like Garrett Hedlund's character, but I just didn't. The only character I wound up feeling any real sympathy towards was Leighton Meester's. Aside from that, they all seemed very selfish and self-absorbed. (Although there was one scene near the end of the movie where I was touched by Gwynnie's character.)
I think everyone associated with this movie did themselves a huge disservice by releasing it so soon after Crazy Heart. If they had delayed the release for a year or two, it might have done a lot better at the box office.
