Justin Timberlake’s new role

[cut]
It pleases me when a crossover artist doesn’t suck.Which is why I’m happy to report that J.T. just signed on to star in writer/director Michael Meredith’s drama The Open Road, in which he’ll play a young man trying to reconnect with his father (Jeff Bridges) as he struggles to get the old man home to his ailing mother’s bedside. (EW)

I thought he was great in Alpha Dog! Am I alone on this one? Anyone?
