[[Sarcasm Mode|Fun little upbeat slice-of-life comedy]] where some nice [[The Deep South|southern folks]] learn some [[Magical Negro|fun things]] together about friendship and [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|the blues]]. Memorable for the scene where [[Samuel L Jackson|Samuel L.]] motherfucking [[Badass|Jackson]] [[Rule of Cool|plays an electric guitar]] [[Empathic Environment|in a thunderstorm]], even if for no other reason. |

In real life (aka not [[Sarcasm Mode]]), the 2006 film is about a cantankerous former Blues singer/guitarist named Lazarus ([[Samuel L Jackson]]) who has fallen on hard times. His wife leaves him for his brother and his faith in both God and other people is rather low. Then he meets Rae ([[Christina Ricci]]): a nymphomaniac struggling with her sex addiction and other psychological problems now that her boyfriend Ronnie ([[Justin Timberlake]]) has gone off to the military. Lazarus finds her beaten and unconscious in the road near his home and decides to "cure" her: cure in this case standing for chaining her to a radiator. However, after much friction, Rae slowly starts to listen to what Lazarus has to say about life through his music and through learning how to deal with her problems. |
