Yeah...no!

Rating: 5/10 (30 March 2020)

When I saw the rating here, I thought ´must be a good film´. Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo are recognized as good actors so I went for it. I had some doubts when I saw the name of James Corben as I read the critics from ´Cats´ saying ´James Corden is terrible, as always´ but having never seen him in anything, I couldn´t tell if it was justified.
The opening scene is interesting as I discovered that Keira Knightley could sing. It may not be her main skill but she can (the cast from ´La la land´ would have a lot to learn from her).
The songs are pleasant but as there are the songs of the films and the music of the film, it is a lot of music that is at times a bit loud and too present, and tends to overlap the story.
The story, let´s admit it, is rather basic, but given the reputation of the two main actors, there would have been room to develop.
I don´t know Adam Levine. He is doing the job but his role is not of much interest.
What is really spoiling the film is that Mark Ruffalo is most of the time making a fool of himself, overplaying the role of the ´misunderstood-tortured´ music producer. I have seen him in many films before so I know that he can be good. It is not that he is bad, it is just that he is doing too much.
As for James Corden...so he is an actor?
I am rating it 5 as there is much worse, but there is also much better.
