Great cast and great musical performances

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2019)

This movie is probably one of the best, captivating movies I've ever seen. It has plot, it has twists, it has struggle and it's more realistic than you would think. Christina Aguilera did a great job, her acting was flawless. Her musical performance was something I never wrapped my head around and probably never will. Her voice is exquisite and I've had goosebumps every time she sang.
This movie would enjoy people who likes to think that every dream, even the most crazy one can happen if you work as hard as you can to pursue it.
The idea of American Dream being fulfilled is clear in this movie. A girl, who has incredible talent is trapped in a restaurant working as a waitress, facing real life problems, while her life along with her dream of becoming famous singer is slipping between her fingers. Then one day she made a decision to end her misery and stepped into that amazing yet terrifying world of show-business. After multiples attempts to find a job in a City of Angels she began to realize what has she gotten herself into. And that was when she stepped into that bar. With the last 20 bucks in her wallet, she bought her ticket to the show of her dreams.
This movie sends a good message to the audience about not giving up and chasing the opportunity even if the circumstances are not always kind.
I highly recommend to watch this movie and I think you won't regret it.
