Very enjoyable but the end left me a bit flat

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2016)

I built up a high level of anticipation in seeing this film. I enjoy both Ryan G and Emma S as actors and like music. The high ratings on IMDb also added to the anticipation. I found myself quite engrossed in the story and where it was going. It was filled with the day to day ups and downs of life and the beauty of aspiring to dreams and love. I play the piano and enjoy Jazz and dancing so appreciated the melodic intertwining of the music through the story line. Both main actors did a good job with the dancing and singing given they are not professionals in these areas. As much as I enjoyed the film, I found myself a bit flat at the end as I didn't interpret the ending as a joyous one unlike other reviewers that said it was inspiring and a feel good ending. This was not the case for me. I felt the ending could have been done much better and there was too much of a gap in the story that was covered in the last 15 or so mins. I enjoyed the singing, dancing, story and overall cinematography, the movie had a great realistic emotional romantic feel to it. Just felt a bit let down at the end though.
