When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Blistering performances.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
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'm glad the story wasn't cheapend by making Ruffalo's and Knightley's characters get together.
The thing about "Once" was that it was total magic: you literally watched the music and voices BECOME something. This time around, Carney assembles a way more accomplished cast with way better production value...but the magic is missing. Ruffalo does his very best, but the premise and the core song are a stretch. "Once" worked best when the music played, and this one works best when it stops. It is not awful, but it is not great either. There are plenty of great Ruffalo performances out there, so find another one.
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.
