    Seven Stars for me is Good Enough

    Approaching this with skepticism due to unfamiliar faces, I was pleasantly surprised by its quality. The engaging and authentic storylines captivated me, though I wished for more exploration of Nathan's character, potentially making it the focal point with the love story as a subplot. Nathan's song "99 Pills" was a standout, sending shivers down my spine-an undeniable highlight. The acting, while decent, aligns with many smaller budget films, and there's a sense of commitment across the board. I'm giving it 7 stars, I acknowledge its potential for growth and look forward to see what else is produced by the writer Mike Spears in the future.

    I feel seen!

    I'm the type that appreciates independent art. The storyline was easy to follow and I felt like I could relate to the drama. The actors were good for it to be a cast full of none "Hollywood" people. The cinematography was okay, there were no shots that were too dark. This was one of the best I've seen. The music was very catchy and each song gets stuck in my head. The characters are extremely relatable. After seeing the credits at the end, I appreciated this movie so much more. The writer and director is the same person that wrote the songs! That's amazing for talent to be set into one individual.

    Its Good Enough for me!

    Good Enough: A Modern Musical is ranked among my top favorites as of now. The music, an infectious blend that implanted each melody in my mind, showcased a level of artistry that resonated deeply. The characters, brimming with relatability, etched themselves into the narrative, creating a lasting impact. What truly enhanced my appreciation was the revelation that the writer and director were one and the same, a testament to the exceptional talent encapsulated in a single individual. It stands as a testament to the boundless possibilities when creative brilliance converges in the hands of a singular, multifaceted visionary.

    This is Bad Enough

    Regular themes mixed with modern day sensibilities that is horrible. It's like watching paint dry. I had no empathy for the characters and couldn't wait for this fiasco to be over. The musical numbers were not even on par with the best high school performances I've witnessed. When it was over I kept saying that's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back. This story could of been told in half the time. It just seemed that the director rushed the shoot and no one bothered to push the actors to deliver honest emotional performances. It was amateurish at best. As I watched the musical numbers I kept thinking this can't be choreographed only to watch the end credits to realize it was to my dismay. I hope the writer, producer, and director keep trying to develop but this is just plain awful.

    Totally Relatable

    Loved watching a gay film with a super happy ending. Don't want to spill the beans, but there's a bit of a tearjerker in there. Trevor and Jamal's connection is just so pure and innocent - totally my vibe. And can we talk about the sizzling chemistry between the actors? Had me wondering if they're a real-life couple. The film's pacing was right up my alley, and those awkward moments between Trevor and Jamal? Totally relatable. The ending? Heartwarming and put a huge smile on my face! Wasn't expecting it to wrap up like that, but I'm so glad it did. Overall, a solid, relatable story that's a breeze to follow.
