Great music, appalling movie - b grade rubbish
As someone who has recently picked up on their jazz studies where they left off many years ago, I was on the lookout for a good movie with some jazz standards, and was really happy to find this at the DVD store.
It turned out to be b grade rubbish. The acting is appalling, the plot is just terrible, and the entire premise is garbage.
The music is great - the songs are good, but everything else is horrible. Even when they perform the songs, you can tell he's not playing the piano, and the way the 'accoustics' change dramatically between them speaking, and singing, even though they're in the same room, is really annoying.
I'm not sure how anyone could have spoken positively of this pile of trash. Sure it's great to hear the music, but no-one could like the actual film in it's entirety, no-one.
