Hard Luck Love Song Reviews
Washington Post
Kristen Page-Kirby
What could have been a taut, gripping, emotional story ends up being diluted by a surrounding narrative that meanders and moseys to the point of irrelevance.
Austin Chronicle
Jenny Nulf
Hard Luck Love Song's ultimate turn is a twist too far, and perhaps to a fault the film's most memorable moment.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
First time feature helmer Justin Corsbie does a fine job putting us in the middle of Jesse's life, and gains our sympathy, even empathy, for the lovable songster.
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
An atmospheric but thin character-centered piece that goes explosively wrong at the close.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Michael Dorman does great work as a small-town hustler pursued by gangsters.
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Courtney Lanning
The film ends as suddenly as a song with no real lessons learned, no definitive character progression and nothing of real consequence having taken place.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
"Hard Luck Love Song" is the kind of movie that would sit right next to someone at the world's saddest dive bar even if the place was full of nothing but empty seats.
Fat Guys at the Movies
Kevin Carr
This is a cute little movie. It works as a happy little holiday movie.
Variety
Joe Leydon
Justin Corsbie's self-indulgent indie is not worth the effort of making a disparaging pun based on its title.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Ordoña
"Hard Luck Love Song" is a happy but gritty marriage of material, filmmaker and star. Much is asked of Dorman, and he delivers all.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
The twists are violent and silly and have little relation to the gritty realities of Snider's world.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
As with many country songs, the story feels terribly familiar. But director/co-screenwriter Corsbie, who grew up in Austin, clearly knows the milieu.
Screen Zealots
Louisa Moore
A been there, done that drama about a broken soul that is by no means terrible a film, but it certainly is forgettable.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Turning a four-minute country tune into a viable feature-length film proves too daunting for this cliched drama about, well, hard luck, love, and songs.
North Shore Movies
Sean Burns
It gets into trouble when Corsbie runs out of verses to Snider's song and attempts to impose a plot on the proceedings.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Here's one I can't recall seeing before - an opening credit stating that the movie we're about to watch is based on a song. As it turns out, if that song is Todd Snider's 'Just Like Old Times,' you're in for a real treat.
MovieJawn
Gary M. Kramer
There is an undeniable scrappy charm to the film
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
[I]ts simple intentions more or less fall apart in an extended, climactic scene.
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
It's a shame that the third act goes off the rails, because this is quite a solid movie before that.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Cliches are introduced to expand on the tune, and pace is quite sluggish, with Corsbie taking an eternity to reach simplistic resolutions to difficult emotional problems.
