The Space Between

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 movie really started out good and then fell completely flat midway. The thing is they had good character, good story line, story costumes and everything yet they couldn't utilise it at all. Kesley Grammar's acting was phenomenal and so was Jackson White's but the plot became so slow and jarring that it was painful to watch at times. The character of Cory had so much potential as a struggling singer of a struggling band yet her character gets dropped off the plot in the lamest way possible. I mean you get Michael Jackson's daughter for that role knowing that people would be intrigued but now it seems the directors only used her for clickbait. Such a waste of an excellent cast. At the end it felt like they were really forcing us to feel the emotions and cry but by that time you're probably like "yea we know how this ends just get on with it quickly" The 3 stars is only for the good 30 min at the beginning.

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

The best thing about this movie was the beautiful talented Paris Jackson and she was hardly shown. Made it half way through and gave up. I love Kelsey Grammar and it was cool they had him sing but the first few songs came across as so rushed. The actors weren't the issue as the cast seems great. The writing kills it.

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!
