This is the movie that I bought the music track for the first time. It is featuring Adam Levine from Maroon 5, why not? And one of my favourite actresses, Keira Knightley is on. Perfect combination and therefore so should be the movie. }but after I saw it,I barely remember the detailed points: what is the character's name, what happened between the 2 etc... This movie's storu is not remaining in everybody's mind because it does not have so much dramatic moments. But music is great so worthwhile to watch it.

This is a pretty solid film all around. The performances are solid, the music is solid, the writing is solid. But none of its aspects are truly outstanding though, and when compared to the beautifully moving Once, it pales in comparison. Once was just more heartfelt, more realistic, and the music is in a league of its own. Still, it's not right to just compare it to Once, even if it is similar in superficial ways. This one blends in more elements into the story, including their personal problems and it also ventures into more mainstream-levels. I wouldn't say that this is a must-see by ay means, but it gets the job done. Recommended.

What a lovely film. ALL the actors were excellent in this one. The characters flowed, the story had emotional depths. Flippin good music too. Keira Knightley is beautiful as always, nice to see her gentle side in the video. Director left room for hers and Mark Ruffalo's characters to develope gracefully. Was touching. Thanks everyone for a lovely film. Definately going in my favourates list. Would like a part 2 if youre up for it.

Music changes life ... ordinary and warm stories, I like the ending very much, because the male and female protagonists love each other because of music, there is no stereotype, but they return to their own trajectories and continue to move forward. I feel that Keira Knightley is particularly suitable for this role. She also wears beautiful clothes, and she is particularly attractive every time she smiles. I especially like her taste of acting, "Pride and Prejudice" will always be my favorite movie to watch her movies. I like the character of the heroine of this movie too! Even if the scumbag comes back, it is over, and the communication with Dan is only this step. Dan actually played the Hulk! I have never found it before! He plays such a nervous uncle! The songs in it are also a must listen to my music library before! Sure enough, there is still a dream, and the process of realizing the dream is really happy!

Me and my boyfriend went to watch this movie at a theater because of a high rating on IMDb. Besides, the movie has Mark Ruffalo, so we decided to go watch this movie even though the teasers seemed cheesy to me. Although, the movie is not bad it is not entirely fulfilling either. I would recommend watching it on Netflix/ DVD on one of those days when you're bored and don't want to watch anything intense. The only saving grace in this movie is Mark Ruffalo. Without him the plot would have been even more boring. Yes, the movie is lighthearted, unconventional, and doesn't go the predictable romantic route - Yet, I felt a tad disappointed with the mere ordinariness of this movie and I didn't think it was worth the money spent.

Another film about music production, and it's not as good as others of its genre. The song choices and acting are merely OK, but the notion of the love of music is just romanticized. Do Keira Knightley and Mark Ruffalo even love music? Because I just can't feel their passions in their acting. In the plot, music seemed to be the emotional outlet for the character (Gretta). But when this is portrayed in Knightley's hollow acting, her usual pretentious smirk, make me feel that she loves music just because it's cool. In short I think she faked her love of music. And practically, Knightley can't sing. She fakes it but she just can't. Her voice is so flat and her acting is disappointingly pretentious. Ruffalo is doing a better job but his decadent face always reminds me of Hulk. I love Adam Levine though, but I really think that the songs in this movie are B-graded. The original soundtrack of this movie would not be worth-buying.
