About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a warm, funny, tear-jerking true-story crowd-pleaser with big musical moments, like Yesterday; Not for you if you dislike opera-heavy stories or find feel-good clichés too sugary.
Pros: uplifting underdog journey; heartfelt romance; lots of singing | Cons: predictable outcome; cheesy sentiment; slow middle stretch
