Best movie of blues ever!

Very flawed yet a beautiful film. There'#39;re problems with pacing, and with the script. Honestly, who cares about Frances? I don'#39;t like the romance bits. A lot of wasted potential/time there. Some dialogs feel cheesy. But other than that, I love almost everything about this film. I'#39;m glad they'#39;ve put an effort on the playing. Every time I see someone play an instrument on screen, it'#39;s all fake and makes me cringe. But it seems natural in Crossroads alongside with what you'#39;re hearing too. (I think I'#39;ve read somewhere that Steve Vai did all the guitar recording.) And of course like everybody else, [spoiler] I'#39;m a sucker for that guitar battle at the ending[/spoiler]. It'#39;s a classic. So to conclude: If you'#39;re somewhat interested in music, I'#39;m sure you'#39;ll enjoy it. If not, you may be a little bit disappointed. But in my book it'#39;s certainly worth a watch.

It's a guitar-playing Karate Kid.

Cool movie, if you like blues you should consider watching it. Good enough for a movie night, but too much wasted potential in my book. At the start I was expecting a coming of age movie and it kind of delivered. It collapses on itself towards the second half. And the ending? It negates all what came before it. Doesn'#39;t really make sense to me. Still, I'#39;d watch it again sometime. Would definitely enjoy the hell out of it in the unlikely situation someone somewhere decided to remake the whole thing with a young actor who can actually play the blues.

Nice, but the final battle makes this film memorable. Incredible scene with the unique and original Steve Vai. 6/10
