From the mumblings of bradley cooper to the overacting of lady gaga i couldn't decide who was actually worse the actor trying to be a singer or the singer trying to be an actor. this was long, tedious, boring and just one of the worst movies i've seen in a long time. save yourself the time and rent the 1954 Judy Garland/James Mason version. I promise you'll enjoy it so much more when the people in the movie can actually act and sing. only bright spot was Sam Elliott who just gets better with age like a fine wine.
