I watched a couple of these out of curiosity and am offended that the producers would assume we viewers out here in the hinterland would fall for something so ludicrous. No possessive mother is this bad nor are there young men in existence who are such wusses as these. It's downright insulting they would put this trash on the air under the guise of possibllity, much less truth. I feel there are enough true stories in real life available that you don't have to fabricate garbage like this so I'm washing my hands of this network/production company/ etc.

I have always loved faith-based films but I was disappointed in this one. I was not familiar with the song and went primarily as I just love Trace Adkins voice. Unfortunately, he was cast in a non-singing role but did a good job. However, the film was slow and dragged on with boring scenery and hard-to-understand conversation at times. I just can't in all good faith recommend this film.

I so looked forward to this film and was greatly disappointed. I find it hard to believe that it is being spoken of as an Oscar contender. Ryan Gosling was fairly good in his movements but rather weak in singing. Emma Stone is awful; I do not comprehend her popularity at all; she never seems genuine to me; I feel I can tell she's acting and cannot get into her character. Some of the dancing scenes were downright silly and the songs unrealistic, thereby giving a feeling of falsehood. The main premise was believable but depicted poorly. The cinematography was fine as were the period artifacts displayed, lending authenticity to the era. However, overall it was simply a letdown and I cannot recommend it to anyone at all.
