That was an excellent one.
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
This is the movie that I bought the sound track of it; music is great. This movie is featuring Adam Levine from Maroon 5, why not the music is good? Of course it is great. And Keira Knightley, one of my favorite actresses is also on. Perfect combination and therefore so is the movie... However, the story is not bad, good. But not excellent. Why I say this is that I barely the detailed points of the movie; what is the character's name, what happens between the two main character etc... The point is that the story is not so much to remember; not dramatic to the level to remain in mind. But music is excellent for sure. Should check it out to enjoy the music.
I pick this one for Keira and it was a good opportunity to test my theory that actual American movies are totally disconnected with their audience (explaining that they are so bad!) In short, the American movies offer today a restricted choice of characters: either Law, either Criminals, Either Vigilante, Either prestigious elite (doctors, lawyers, and entertainment). So this one belongs to the last category being a meeting about a new artist and an old famous producer, and it's not even a biopic! So who's really care about that? How many relatives of friends have you got with an album career? Zero, like me, so really I can't enter this movie and I'm already bored since the beginning!After, we have the complete track: the writing session, the session, the recording, the video, the live performance, all this with the same really poor songs and it's just excruciating! If that was not enough, the movie adds the usual rebel teen because the parents split (see JP3 for example) and as expected, it's poor drama, fake feelings and lost time At last, the movie shows clearly how America evolves for the worst: teen dress like prostitutes, parents look like bums, young wear beards and don't want to work much and homes are slums!! In a way, I have never found NYC so bad and so decadent Compare to old movies from 70s or even 80s and this generation looks totally without taste Indubitably, one of the worst movie for Keira!
This thing struggles mightily for a "Commitments" kind of vibe, and except for one major problem, pretty much succeeds....trouble is the problem is so front and center, it ruins the whole thing......the music....it's awful. Derivative, wobbly pitch, trite lyrics, it's absolute garbage. I had to mute the performances to get through it. I find it hard to believe people could actually enjoy that phony, screeching drivel.
A lovely, warming tribute to all those (hundreds of thousands?... millions ?...) of artists, musicians & composers, blessed with that wonderful God-given true gift of deep understanding and sensing of music... and who, however, don't quite 'make it' in this business... Firstly, the music score is awesome, you just have to listen and you're hooked forever... The growing chemistry between Ruffalo & Knightley characters is sweet and helps the plot to overcome some inevitable, typical clichés. I'm not at all a fan of movies about musicians and bands, but this one is absolutely nonesuch thing. It simply is a movie about friendship, trust and what human inter-relationship should be about. Setting is also excellent. Dear Scarlet J, sorry but... opportunity missed...
