Truly, he is the only thing that makes the movie anything other than a total disaster. He should get a medal of some sort for being able to completely carry the movie. He was the star in my opinion. I pretty much smirked most of my way through the film, and then when it came to his emotional scene at the end in his truck I actually had the grin wiped from my face. I hope he gets the credit he deserves despite the rest of the film being a total pile of steaming crap.

(ps was Tim Macgraw's character supposed to be the 'Tom Ford of Nashville'? What the hell? Was was his wardrobe and tailoring budget 20x everyone elses?)

I agree. The chemistry between him and Leighton Meester saved this sloppy film.

Not gonna lie, his performance had like....taken my breath away. Not just his singing but his acting. He's done pretty amazing for him self and come a long way since Troy, regardless of an award. I'm shocked he doesn't get more roles, I mean he's got one film in production, I'm shocked there isn't more then that. He is truly brilliant.

Chiles, annoyed me. Looking at her, listening to her, and her acting was just horrendous. Every time I saw her I could only see her Gossip girl character who also annoys the crap out of me. With out her and someone a little more, homely looking would have been better.

Kelly, not a fan of the actress but she did pretty good considering the amount of alcoholics I know... she deserves props on that.

Tim Macgraw, I feel sorry for him that he was sucker into being in that film in the first damn place. He should have had to sing or something could have salvaged a bit of the movie and not put the whole movies chances of greatness entirely on Garrett lol
