The Space Between

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
