    I think this movie involves as one of the first fun movies, action and more without any kind of bombs or stupid talking.

    This movie is engaging, the story unfolds around the music, Paul Giamatti is great. Apart some predictable things typical nowadays in American movies (family values, etc.), this movie is fun.

    I love the singing in the movie. I hope when I get older I can be in a movie that involves singing because that is what I am all about. I really love to sing. And I love the story behind this movie.

    Some scenes are great, some are not, and the movie goes completely off the track at the end. Enough good scenes to make it worth while as a cheap rental, especially if you are a fan of any of the stars.

    An intermittently irresistible entertainment.
  2. 25
    The talented cast doesn't stand much of a chance in this rambling, pointless narrative.
  3. 30
    This soft, formulaic comedy/drama has a far better cast than it deserves, and they work their hearts out trying to bring life to a cliched script.
