Dec 5, 2020 I have NO idea why this movie has gotten such high ratings. I knew nothing about Hank Garlands life, but this was so predictable. As soon as he met the "girl of his dreams," and he starts saying things like "I'd never hurt you" and "I can't breathe without her," you just knew someone would cheat and their lives would end in disaster. If it were a happy musician ever after bio, would it even be made? Car accidents for both to tie off that disaster in a neat little bow. Ho hum. See more
Jan 12, 2015 Solid biopic about the fascinating life of a country jazz phenom who worked with many Nashville greats like Elvis and Patsy Cline, and yet dealt w his own tragedy and heartbreak along w his volatile, fiercely independent streak. Honestly wrought, touching, and extremely well acted by the enable cast, it overcomes it's flaws with moments of authenticity and clarity, and with heartfelt performances. 4 out of 5 jazzy guitar licks See more
Feb 10, 2011 The whole time I was watching this, I felt it was like watching a Lifetime Channel or Made For TV movie.It's worth watching if there's nothing else on or you pick it up for free at your local library like I did but it's nothing I'd pay to see See more
Oct 10, 2010 Interesting movie that takes you back to 1950's Nashville and the real life drama of a lesser known backup guitarist that is famous for his style and arrangements from artists like Elvis, Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline. Unknown Waylon Payne does a pretty good job with this movie but the storyline is similar to any we have seen before. First off, Payne looks nothing like Garland and when you see the real life photos at the end of the movie, it surprised me they didn't even try to get the similarities. Ali Larter plays a similar role to most of her movies, the sultry wanted girl that ends up cheating on the husband. As good as some of the acting and music in this, the story is chopped up into so many different parts, it feels like a TV miniseries. However, the story becomes tragic and sad and this is what really draws you in to the world of blues country music in a rock n roll age. In the end, not a bad movie but I can see why it was unknown.
