Spoilers ahead!! You've been warned!




Nope. Nope. Nope. Just no all around.

How did so many people like this movie? It's terribly formulaic and unoriginal.

And God, I just can't with the instalove. Like 16 year old me was all about that, but c'mon. He was an overbearing, pushy drunk. I don't believe she would've ever given him the time of day if he hadn't been famous.

Also, if not for the fame and musical talent, why would you ever insert yourself into the life of a broken, deeply messed up person struggling with serious addiction issues? All of his bad qualities were plain visible for everyone to see from the get go. What would even make you want to spend more time with someone like that so you could get to know them?

Hated the plot (I was actually rooting for him to die at the end so the movie would be infinitesimally more interesting, even though SUPER PREDICTABLE still), I would not for the life of me be able to tell anyone how much time went by from when they met to the end. The timing was just plain wrong and confusing.
The chemistry was there, the acting was ok, although I was already sick and tired of the drunk/drugged act by the middle of the movie. And the singing and songs were good, too.

But the story? Beyond lame. Just plain bad

Just think about the underlying messages of this movie: If you bug and pressure a woman enough a no will turn into a yes. Whether it's a drink, skipping work to fly to a show, sing on stage while not really prepared, change her personal appearance and creative style... All to appease the men around her.
And also, no matter how much he loves you, he won't be able to deal with your success and will use it as another excuse to keep spiriling down.
(Ally didn't even have a last name for crying out loud! That's how unimportant she was compared to Jack's character)

That's messed up. Think about it.
