These critics are cluless. Gyllenhaal falling for Bad Blake is totally believable. Plenty of women out there who fall for "bad boys" - be they alcoholics, drug addicts, abusive, whatever - and if he's a talented musician, the women fall harder. Many women who come from dysfunctional backgrounds seek out unstable men and are irresistibly attracted to them, even if he's 20, 30 years older.
The very first scene, when Bad Blake sits at the bar in the bowling alley, I was waiting for Sam Elliot to sit next to him and say, "Take her easy Dude."
why is ben harping on this "impossible romance" ? bad blake is charming, talented, and "somewhat famous," despite being an out-of-shape, aging alcoholic with his career going down the tubes. hello? "together" women fall for this type of man all the time, especially when they're actually not as together as they seem. why is there not a woman on this panel... or a man with a little more perspective?
He was godawful on "At the Movies." Granted, he looked relatively good next to scumbag, douchebag extraordinaire Ben Lyons. Anybody would look relatively good next to him. Still, if he was not from a famous family, Ben would not be on TCM, TYT, or ATM.
What these guys don't realize is that women can be really desperate and go for someone way beneath them. That's especially true of single mothers. It sounds bad but I've seen it countless times. No, and not in that way.
"I feel, I feel, I feel..." over and fucking over again by Matt, ugh! ...and he sort of disses The Big Lebowski! Jeeezus, what an asstard. That movie is so funny, packed with over the top dialogue and subtle humor.
Seriously Matt, you ragging on Lebowski, you just lost all credibility, it's not like I ever go on Rotten Tomatoes but I'll definitely boycott that shit site.

The Wrestler was much harder and brutal.
Crazy Heart is much more tender.
I give these critics 2.6/10

Great performances. Mediocre movie.

Cenk.
If you, and your two lady friends generally panned the movie,
I expect that I, (like most of the professional reviewers),
will completely enjoy it.

Not really. Although his best role was arguably as The Dude in The Big Lebowski.
