Artsy road drama featuring Zellweger & Whitaker with songs by Bob Dylan
This is a road drama in the mold of “Rain Man” (1988) mixed with elements of “A Love Song for Bobby Long” (2004). It comes across as an artsy Indie, except with a fairly big budget, a notable cast and a writer/director who had drawn Oscar attention in the past, not to mention a soundtrack that features 16 new Bob Dylan songs ("new" for 2010, that is).
If you favor those other two films you might like this one, although they’re superior. There’s enough good to make it worth checking out, like Dylan’s folk/blues/rock/gospel/country and Madeline Zima, not to mention the road movie element. But I didn’t find the story very compelling. The similar "The Yellow Handkerchief" (2008) had the same budget, but is easily the best of the lot IMHO.
