I expected a celebration, not a dirge

Rating: 5/10 (25 June 2014)

If you don't have any particular reason to see this movie, you should skip it. I was expecting a celebration of the music, but there is little joy to balance the dreariness in this film.
The acting is adequate, so I don't think it would be fair to pick on the actors; the screenplay is dull. I was looking at my watch towards the end.
Yes, indeed, my foot was tapping on its own volition during performances of their songs! But there were few of those scenes.
The movie focuses so much on the hard knocks that I'm left wondering, "Was it all about the money?" Not how I expected to leave the theater.
