Richard Roxburgh has barely played a false note through his acting career and it's not for his efforts that Doing Time for Patsy Cline falls a tad flat.
Had the movie spent more time on the road rather than been bogged down so much by the doing time aspect, and forgone the somewhat tedious ruminations of wannabe country singing star played by Matt Day and what coulda, shoulda been, the film may have opened up more interesting plot possibilities aka David Lynch's Wild at Heart.
All in all it's a watchable exercise with endearing moments and characters. With a little more attention paid to the storyline, Doing Time for Patsy Cline may have reached a few more high notes.
