I found it entertaining for the most part. Paul Rudd sings pretty good, just don't let him bring a movie clip....

The movie was great. The castle by was great. It is the type of movie that gives you a fresh wave of energy and a new perspective on things. A movie with a lesson and a message.

In a perfect world, this will be as big as the directors alleged crowning achievement “once”. That is a very good movie, butI prefer this one. Go see it

As a musician and creative, we all have stories of being screwed over on a gig, should have been paid more, but the powers that be were crooks. The plot is perfectly timed for this current environment. This film was layered and I hoped for the correct ending, which it gave…

I didn't know what to expect, so it's always a nice surprise to walk away really liking the movie. Love both Paul Rudd and the story is so bittersweet and lovely without being onbvious.

A story that anyone can relate to: forgiveness, family, friendship, and trust. This movie really showed me that what you have right now around you is enough and all you need. Appreciate the small moments and be true to yourself.

Carney has offered a sharp, hopeful crowdpleaser that strikes the right notes.

Carney does dig into something interesting about inspiration: how, in music, it’s an amalgam of origins that’s harder to define than in other art forms. Still, the rest of the film settles for being a feel-good dramedy, with any depth merely trailing behind the tear-inducing monologues these characters deliver.
