Movie review - "Songwriter" (1984) *** (warning: spoilers)

 It starts as a mess with random voice over and choppy editing and feels haphazard but I went with it because everyone seems to be having a good time - Willie Nelson in a lead, Kris Kristofferson as a mate, Lesley Anne Downe as a new singer, Richard Sarafin as a villain.

It ambles along, plenty of songs, better casting than Roadie. It's probably at heart a **1/2 movie but I loved the ending where Nelson sells Sarafin Downe's contract and she becomes a Born Again! I loved that.
