After reading the high reviews I thought I would give this movie a try, and I am left feeling baffled why this film got such high praises. The filming it's self is very low budget, as the camera is shaky and the angles are weird. The storyline of the movie is extremely predictable, very slow and uninteresting. I love watching movies about singers and their struggles especially if they are true stories; but the way this show was depicted was extremely bad and very boring. The only nice thing about the movie was seeing the diversity of some familiar actors/actresses. Alessandro Nivola was a poor choice for a lead actor; there is nothing special about this guy. Abigail Breslin was superb as always, her acting skills truly outshone anyone else on the film. I wish they would have given her more singing time on the stage. Whenever she sang on stage, she was only harmony, as you could only hear Alessandro's voice, as he over powered the song with the lead role.
