Same Old Love Song

Rating: 3/10 (6 October 2018)

For a movie that pitches us a line about how star quality for a talented musician is fated by what they can do that resonates truth by breaking the mold within "twelve octaves", it ironically falls short of it's own mantra. If your over the age of the 10, you've heard this same song over & over again. It's a tragic love story of a rock & roll musician (I think anyway, maybe country) whose sudden love affair with a young, talented unknown singer spirals out of control with booze, coke, pills fueled by the memories of a hard childhood with an achoholic father on a pecan farm in Arizona (the pecan farm stchick is about the only originally part in the movie & provided a laugh). If you want to see a much more iconic movie about this subject matter that was actually based in reality, try "Walk the Line". I am truly embrassed for all those country stars who actually lived tragic love-song lives whose stories we have heard many times before. *Side note- yes, Lady Gaga can act & sing beautifully, too bad it was the same old sappy song.
