A Different Kind of Feel-Good Movie

Rating: 8/10 (6 July 2016)

If you're in to see this movie with hopes of getting a deep story of how things will progress, then you're clearly watching it for the wrong reason. From the trailers itself, it was obvious that the film will have a simple plot, yet holds a promise for a successful soundtrack. The real challenge for the filmmakers was to make this simple plot an enjoyable one, and they pretty much nailed it. The technique they used to show how the characters' paths meet, from their individual stories, is underrated. And while it teased our romantic hearts into thinking there's a love story to be expected somewhere along the way, I commend the fact that the writers didn't give in to the demands of romanticism which could have possibly categorized this as a romance film, when it clearly isn't supposed to be. Another underrated fact about this film is that it shed some light on how the music industry transforms different artists. When applied in the real world setting, this film speaks volumes of whom artists let themselves become when fame hits them.
The music in this film is what brought it to success. If you're gonna judge it based on the story, then look into the background stories that inspired each song to their fruition. Watch this and see that the songs you'll find here are magic, and are sure to linger in your heart.
