A pleasant musical surprise

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2016)

James Cordon alert! If I'd taken the effort to look at who was starring in this movie, I would have probably avoided it, but in a way I'm pleased I didn't. Cordon aside, this was an enjoyable 2 hours or so. Like many others, I expected this movie to be riddled with clichés, cheesy dialogue and cringy scenes - we've come to expect it from this sub-genre.
'Begin Again' isn't really guilty of any of those things, or certainly not to the extent where it ruins the enjoyment of the movie. The plot is about more than just music and the dialogue felt natural, with believable performances from Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo.
'Begin Again' is a good movie all round. Definitely a must watch for music lovers and enjoyable for everybody else too.
