The story was too disjointed and contrived. The stereotypes were abundant, every scene predictable. The trailer is essentially the whole movie. Pass.

Its episodic nature isn’t enough to derail the film’s charm, which consistently shines through and carries it over any rough transitions.

Rated: 3/5

Original Cin

Despite committed performances from its cast and gorgeous exterior shots, the story, such as it is, is predictable and stilted.

Rated: C+

Planet S Magazine

Overall, Guitar Lessons fails to come together, particularly the more dramatic second half. But it has enough small victories to be worth your time.

Rated: 2.5/5
