Jeff Bridges stars in Crazy Heart, a film already drawing comparisons to The Wrestler.  It’s still got a guy singin’ about a three-legged dog on a one-way road to nowheretown, only this time, he’s the main character.

Bad Blake is a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s had way too many marriages, far too many years on the road and one too many drinks way too many times. And yet, Bad can’t help but reach for salvation with the help of Jean (MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL), a journalist who discovers the real man behind the musician. As he struggles down the road of redemption, Bad learns the hard way just how tough life can be on one man’s crazy heart. [Apple]

I’m not sure if The Dude is supposed to be Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings, but either way, I think by “salvation” they mean “a way younger chick’s vagina.”   It’s the American dream.
