A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
A thoughtful and profound work filmed beautifully, with stirring lyrics to acoustic songs that reflect what Joey is going through, and perhaps thousands of artists, musicians, writers also caught in the mill of having to make a living while remaining themselves.
