everyone can learn how to pretend to play and instrument - except these guys

Rating: 6/10 (28 October 2014)

Super easy to watch, the only problem is that it is a movie about musicians and the love for music, but the actors didn't even know how to PRETEND they were playing - or singing. The plot has its potential, it is a very pleasant story to watch when you don't want to think much neither have that wasted-time feeling. The attention to the details could have made this movie a lot better. In some scenes, the actors appeared to be playing the guitar when there was no guitar in the song, for example. Notes all wrong, I felt bad for the bassist's attempts. The times Keira's character was clearly not singing also bothered me. Still, I enjoyed watching it and I found myself fond of Adam Levine's voice - which has never happened before. In general, this could have been a better movie. The production is good, the photography is OK, the plot is very fine. Please, actors can learn how to pretend how to play an instrument, you just have to ask them to do it.
