The Space Between

If like me you stumble on this movie without really realising how- stick with it, the payoff is actually really solid.

What is it being an artist? What makes someone tick and how do you get into their head? Or make them agree to do something commercial again or other reasons? Having Kelsey Grammar (whom you may not recognize immediately) play the lead role helps a lot of course - especially when it comes to making the audience feel and be attached with him.

And then there is the weirdness - the attitude. The "being free" - something that will either win you over from the moment you see him (in the pool "recording") or be the moment he has lost you already ... because you get annoyed ... you'd be missing a pretty good or at least decent movie if the latter is the case of course. Well played and touching all the right corner/points in character development ... this can be fun.

I do think this might be Grammers best movie to date. A feelgood drama that doesn't take itself too seriously.

We follow a young man trying to make a career in the music industry, tasked with ending the contract of old, has been pop-star Mickey Adams. Things doesn't go as planned.

The film bubble along while we get to know the characters, all to a beautiful California backdrop.

The film could have used a bit more time to get some more depth out of the characters, feels like you just scratched the surface. Also, sometimes it feels like the film doesn't know what it want to be, a comedy, feelgood or drama?

It does have a rather cute ending and I left it with a lingering smile. Well worth a watch, but don't expect a laugh out loud comedy.

Oh, and Mr Grammer still knows how to sing!

It's another aging musician finds redemption story but the writing is solid, dialog witty, and actors very good with depth and substance. If that's the kind of movie you like, you'll enjoy this one. Don't hate it because it's not ground-breaking or doesn't have relentless action and hot sex. It does, however, have Kelsey Grammer singing and acting as good or better than you've ever seen him and some new faces you'll want to remember and see again.

This film might have been better if based on a real person. I think it needed that biographic feel. Charlie works in the postel section of his film. Then one day his boss fincher sends him to give a letter to get a washed up singer out of his contact.he goes and as soon as we seen a alpaca things will be weird. Kelsey grammar plays the singer and does a well enough job. Even the ending is sweet but the meat that built up this film sandwich was just not there really. There was too much going the long way around to get to something else. The music was nice and there were some generally good songs. Just overall not a lot else.
