Gage s If you are a fan of the jazz genre you may find the musical elements of this movie great otherwise I wouldn't recommend it to a person unfamiliar with Jazz or Cab Calloway. The acting was disappointing at best. While I could enjoy the thought of the elements of the story it was really unfortunate to see that the execution of the drama was underwhelming and you gained no emotional connection with the characters. The best part about the movie is it's musical numbers by Cab Calloway. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Steve D Only of note for its music. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Kye R one of the 3 best movies ive ever seen Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
