Featured reviews
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.
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.
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!

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.

- TriviaMickey Adams may be inspired, in part, by the real-life genius songwriter/musician Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. Mickey keeps a piano in an inspired location to write. Brian Wilson famously kept a piano in a full-sized sand box in the living room of his former Hollywood Hills home so that he would think of the beach as he composed new songs. Additionally, Brian Wilson was obsessed with the song "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes, going so far as to listen to the recording an estimated 1,000 times. Mickey's doorbell plays the opening to "Be My Baby".
- GoofsAt approximately 25 minutes into movie during their first meeting at pool. In the background you can here bird song. One of the birds is a Eastern whip-poor-will. This would not be heard during the day as it's a nocturnal bird.
