Review of Crazy Heart (2009) by John A — 14 May 2011

Fantastic film for who love watching something to feel good. Bridges devilers a fantastic performance as well as Gyllenhaal in this heart warming and delightful movie. It didn't really look as if it appealed to me but very glad I watched it.

A must watch!
