Kyle M @RT77296778 10/15/2023 Familiarly told awkwardly, and philosophically weighted eccentrically with a charming cast comedically building up the pathos, particularly Grammar's performance given unnecessary chops for a certain effect that doesn't dampen the talent he brought to the role at one of his best. (B) See more Joe D @RT32380242 06/28/2023 Bland, predictable, and with clichés up the wazoo. See more Brian H @RT41657301 06/26/2023 I watch a lot of movies and TV. I'm sad I'll never get this 100 min back. The cast was squandered due to a horrible trope and bad direction. Not one performance was believable. Also the title of this movie matches a handful of movies with the same name. It shows the originality of what was being produced. I often wonder how movies like this get the green light. See more Melvin W @RT62688052 01/12/2023 I did not know Kelsey Grammar was in it, and he was excellent. A bit of a sleeper movie with rewarding and redeeming themes. See more 06/08/2022 Its not about the destination its about the journey. There was most definitely a story being told and it wasn't about the music industry, just the music. Great watch great soundtrack. See more 03/21/2022 The movie is very good when Kelsey Grammar is in it. A few of the scenes are fantastic. However, the director never really made up his mind as to what the movie was about. The soundtrack is great. See more Read all reviews
