You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a music-forward family dramedy about second chances, with a mix of awkward humor and heartfelt moments; Not for you if you dislike lots of singing or very predictable plots, like in The High Note.
Pros: strong lead performance; lively music moments; warm family themes | Cons: predictable story beats; uneven tone; some scenes drag
