Honkytonk Man is not a must-watch or masterpiece but a nice roll back in time, mixing elements of drama, road movie, music and comedy in a good way. Set in the time of the Great Depression, we follow mainly the path of a musician and his nephew (played by Clint Eastwood and his son Kyle) on the road. Mr. Eastwood did not only play the main role but directed this one too. The journey is great fun and the production takes us back in those hard and dirty times, the end is a bitter-sweet one. To enjoy this one, you should have some like in country and blues tunes, and don't mind a story that takes its time to develop: recommended if you like movies a la Hard Times (1975), Bound for Glory (1976), Of Mice and Men (1992) etc. Exact rate: 6.5 for unknown reasons.
