I loved this movie, and thought it was both very sweet and very funny, which is an unusual combination.
I do want to point out that this is not a movie about Gram Parsons, which seems to have caused a little confusion with some reviewers here.
The positive reviews are from people who like the film for what it is - a cool buddy road movie with a great soundtrack. The negative reviews are from people who complain about the film's makers changing some of the facts, or not telling enough of Gram Parsons' story, or not treating him with 'respect'.
For the record, this is not about Gram Parsons, but Phil Kaufman. It's not a biopic, but a black comedy. And it's not reverential, but dark, cool, and just a little twisted.
It is, however, great fun. And highly recommended...
