I think it's the size of the film, Because it's so small and so crappy digital it feels like a home movie or a little secret you're being let in on. Plus the actors are so natural and sweet and i really loved the ending for veering away from what I thought was a foregone conclusion. Tender and nice and I like it even more in the afterglow after seeing it 2 nights ago. Nothing earthshattering as you say, but lovely just the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-69431666883763988982007-07-01T01:23:00.000-04:002007-07-01T01:23:00.000-04:00I liked it a lot, actually. Maybe because I had lo...I liked it a lot, actually. Maybe because I had low expectations. First, I wouldn't call it a musical at all. I think of musicals as being mostly silly endeavors when people are singing songs about what's going on in that moment...like, "I'm makin' a comment, on Listmaker at the movies, typin' on my keyboard, YEAH!" This movie was about musicians and had a lot of songs in it that were central to the main relationship, but I don't think that's the same thing. In reading reviews as you did, the fact that they all called it a musical made me expect something worse. Also, I think the crappy look made it feel more realistic and fresh, because it's about people who have lo-fi lives and hang out on the street. And I know that guy's music is cheesy but he definitely has a way with the songwriting. Good craft, even though it tends toward the sappy. Thus concludes my late night of commenting on your movie blog.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08996307694872600280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-55535240213097534542007-06-07T14:02:00.000-04:002007-06-07T14:02:00.000-04:00this movie was an EPK. only 110 minutes too long....this movie was an EPK. only 110 minutes too long.youthlargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00556559920390058292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26351054.post-84041669434991335932007-06-07T12:44:00.000-04:002007-06-07T12:44:00.000-04:00i agree 100%. i really don't get the fuss. yes, th...i agree 100%. i really don't get the fuss. yes, the characters were lovable, but the plot was slight and the music, well, it was sweet, but not exactly groundbreaking.<BR/>-shawnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
