Excellent film for those with Musical and Theatrical taste

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2007)

Seems some people want to call this movie over-hyped, but I don't believe so in a day of multi-million dollar advertising campaigns and big time,well paid movie stars. The reason why this movie has received such great reviews is the fact people can identify with the emotions shown here. When Guy sings you can see and hear and feel the emotions and feeling invested in the song. You can identify with his passion from past events in your life. The anger, the joy, the sorrow, the loneliness over a love lost is very identifiable for anyone that has been through it. The songs from this movie evoke strong feelings/emotions/memories in me. I also have to say I find it strikingly beautiful how the two main characters never get together. Yes this movie lacks a "love scene". It's more like a "love act" in the fact from the time the guy and girl meet you can feel this tension build and build until it's ready to burst, but it never does. I think many people can identify with this movie and its emotions and that's why I think it has been so "hyped" as you want to call it.
