There's Always Woodstock

This had to be one of the worst movies I've seen in the past ten years. In fact, I can't think of anything worse ever. Poor acting, poor script, very little to redeem it except for Katie Segal, who only had a very small part. The acting is sorely lacking, and the dialogue is poorly delivered much of the time. The ending lines (no spoilers here) are spoken by the main character in such a tone that it makes the bad even worse. Given the poor script, it was difficult to even give this movie a one rating.

I can't understand how this movie was ever made. We tried to watch it on Pay Per View. Everyone gave up except me, but sadly, it got worse and worse. There's nothing to recommend it. I agree with the two other reviewers. It's not good at all. I wouldn't advise anyone to waste money on it since there's so many better movies available. I would almost label this unpleasant. Don't waste your time.

I have to agree with freedjo, above, who I could copy word for word. My feelings are exactly those of that reviewer. This is the worst thing I've seen in quite some time. I think freedjo is absolutely right when she mentions Katie Segal being on redeeming feature but she is in this turkey far too briefly. One has to wonder how this could even be made. Didn't anyone notice during production that the film wasn't coming together and was a complete and utter disaster? How could they miss that? The audience was beat over the head with the reality the producers refused to face. Terrible acting, poor writing, and abominable direction sink this thing after 5 minutes pass. Skip this one.

The acting is in the exaggerated style of live stage, high school level. It could be a good story. C'mon actors, you can do better. Who directed this? Isn't the director supposed to direct? The opening scene in the bedroom: tacky, gratuitous, unnecessary; did the director feel the plot and story were so lacking that she had to resort to that?

45 minutes in, kept watching hoping it might get better, the acting got better.

First off, let me say that chances are you have already seen a good version of this movie. The film can be summed up by the following: A struggling writer who is in a bad relationship gets a chance at love. Does that sound familiar? Well, it should because those are the plot points from at least a dozen different movies (The Hanna Montana, Movie, Begin Again, Pitch Perfect, Pitch Perfect II, A Star is Born, How To Be Single, etc.) However, that isn't the problem. The problem is this movie has no upside to it. The main character is annoying and an awful person. The love story is forced and undercut by a lousy protagonist. And the side characters are all bland. The music is okay but nothing special. Also, the film claims to have Brittany Snow in it. However, she literally only in it for the first 5 minutes, which is a shame because it was cool to see her act against her normal type of character as the whacked-out D.J. I wouldn't even consider it a Brittany snow movie since she is in it so little. They must have just hoped that her name would be enough to get people to watch, and sadly it did. But don't make my mistake. Save yourself. Watch her scene on YouTube and call it good.

I tried watching this movie, without pausing or fast forwarding, but it was difficult. The lead Actress has a pretty good voice, if that's all she did through the entire movie, it may have saved it. But, no, she actually tried to act or tried acting through a poorly written script. The talent of the cast was there but the plot and scripted word was not. Had it been done by another Directer or Writer or even Producer, who knows how well it could have turned out. I hated every squeaky minute of this girl's poor attempt at acting. Good God, a toddler would have done better. The music chosen was great, Katy Segal was great and under used, but the rest was just awful. I feel bad for anyone who had anything to do with this script or movie, I'm sure they tried, but failed miserably. I don't think I've ever rated a movie this low but it just doesn't deserve much better.
