Given Bob Dylan's other clumsy steps into the film world, I was prepared
to skip this but went when some of the reviews were good.
So glad I did, for this, while far from perfect, is a funny,
offbeat, relevant socail satire. And yes, if you're a Dylan fan, you may
find it moving as hell. Bob is excellent as the island of sanity in a
world gone mad; just like us fans have always seen him.
Not all of this works, and the star cameos get to be a bit
much. But a lot of the actors do the best work they have done in years
(even Mickey Rouke is brillent!) and it just sort of bums you out how
wasted they mostly are by our half butted cinema. Jeff Bridges and John
Goodman are great, though it's hard to get used to them in such
unlikeable roles.
Clumsy, funny, sharp, and touching. Give it a fair chance.
