Such a wasted opportunity. The two leads are great and have real chemistry. The scenes between the two (particularly in the first half) are believable and they tell a great story together.
Unfortunately, heavy handed plot choices (particularly the controlling mother and the second half plot turn) undermine everything built in the first 50 minutes. The music is underwhelming as well. It's trying to pull off what "Once" did so well but the songs simply aren't up to the task.
This story and these actors deserved better.
