It's not THAT bad!

Rating: 6/10 (30 January 2001)

It's a story we've all heard before - girl from Hicksville moves to New York to make it big in songwriting. Girl finds New York hard to break, girl meets boy, boy falls in love with girl, girl gets a couple of breaks (not the songwriting ones that she was hoping for thought), girl eventually falls in love with boy, songwriting career falls to the back burner. Girl realises dreams are not being realised, girl gets ticked off with boy, boy gets the flick, both are miserable. While girl is miserable she does something to realise dream. Dream is realised, credits roll. End of movie.
There is no serious thought needed to see this film. Plenty of beautiful people to look at - which satisfies both the men (all the dancing chicks at the bar) and ladies (Adam Garcia ... phwor!!!) alike. A marked departure from the action flicks that Bruckheimer normally produces and it works reasonably well, albeit in a sugar sweet way.
