Kevin Costner<\/strong><\/a> is all over the map right now as he struggles to save face in the wake of his Horizon<\/em> flop and romance rumors with Jewel<\/strong>. Friends have been telling him to put himself together and stop moping, which is making him tough company to say the least.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s no fun anymore, the joy and the spring has gone out of step,\u201d an insider exclusively tells Life & Style<\/em>. \u201cHe\u2019s putting on this bravado and coming up with all these excuses why Hollywood is not on his side but he\u2019s becoming misery guts to everyone, and the pity party just never ends.\u201d<\/p>\n While Kevin earned a seven-minute standing ovation at the 77th Annual Cannes Film Festival last month at the premiere of Horizon: An American Saga<\/em>, the Yellowstone<\/em> actor\u2019s latest project has been hit with major criticism<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s fine for an epic to sprawl, but you want a sense of purpose at the same time, and this one sometimes loses its way,\u201d one of the reviews of the movie read. \u201cStill, it\u2019s handsomely shot and well performed, a throwback to the glory days of event-movie horse operas.\u201d<\/p>\n The Western film is currently sitting at 43% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of publication.<\/p>\n \u201cHe complains about working hard and wanting to carve out time off, but he doesn\u2019t do it, and the tired beat just goes on,\u201d the source adds. \u201cHe\u2019s feeling sorry for himself and letting the world know and licking his wounds after the savage reviews to his movie Horizon\u2019s opening.\u201d<\/p>\n The Oscar winner has also made headlines recently for his exit from Yellowstone<\/em><\/a> amid the show\u2019s chaotic final season. But he\u2019s remaining optimistic that his fanbase will come to his rescue when the other three films in his Horizon<\/em> franchise are released in the coming years.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin is still holding out hope that the final arbiter of HAASP1 will be the millions of fans who have fueled Yellowstone<\/em>\u2018s success over the last five years and made that show, for a time, the biggest thing on television,\u201d an insider told Life & Style<\/em> earlier this month.<\/p>\n \u201cKevin was warned by marketing execs that he could get hit in the press over this film, and that has now happened,\u201d the source said. \u201cThe critical beatdown he took in Cannes stings, it stings a lot, but Kevin has defied the odds before and he\u2019s even made massive hits out of movies critics didn\u2019t entirely get at first, most notably 1992\u2019s The Bodyguard<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n
