I could see the ending - and the beginning and end - all the way from lunar orbit. Predictable, a little weak, but great if you're looking for something to put you to sleep. Zzzz.

It's refreshing to see real, talented musicians still exist. The music in this movie is fabulous and most of it's written by the main characters in the film. In fact, I purchased the entire album tright after I watched the movie. I would definitely rent this one again and recommend this to my friends who like artsy movies.

This movie is a gem. It is not for those mainstream movies goers or those who need action to keep their attention, but for me this movie was so much more. It made you think, kept my attention and more. The music is fantastic and so much so it's in my queue to purchase.

I actually bought the soundtrack before I watched the movie. I wish I knew beforehand that was all I needed. I love the music from this film and love listening the soundtrack. The problem is the plot is nothing more than an excuse to sing. I did give this film three and a half stars for the music, but I can give it no more as it's not really an entertaining movie. So if you don't have the soundtrack, then rent it.

This movie was so painfully slow and boring, not worth your time!!! I can't believe someone made this into a movie, a complete waste of time.

I tried to watch this three times and fell asleep. Perhaps musicians would be more apprioeciative of watching buskers play on film. I did not ever get past the first 20 minutes.
