    Overdramatic

    There are some things of this film you can enjoy, but for the most part it's just a bit overdramatic.

    It could have worked better if they had chosen a lighter style, maybe focusing on the main couple's chemistry in a better way, concentrating on their positive vibes rather than their negativity, which is sometimes too overwelming.

    The way Liam acts is not so realistic, in my opinion. I mean, we are in the real world and nobody, even the most desperate musicians/artists, behave and think like he does for most of the screen time.

    The confusing timeline was also strange and a little confusing, you have to try better as a director/screenwriter if you wanna base a movie on different times of the same story.

    The music was great.

    I kind of enjoyed this film, don't get me wrong, but it could have been so much better, and I hate missed opportunities to build a great flick to be remembered.

    A simple feel good British film

    For what it was I really liked this film. It had a little bit of a slow start but I really got invested into the couples life after about 30 minutes. It had a Fantastic soundtrack (especially if you were born in the late 80's / early 90's). It didn't stray to far from the main storyline, if you liked 500 days of summer you'd probably like this film.

    Modern Life better than this film.

    There is no joy or whit in this film and the characters are not in the slightest bit likable.

    But it does go to show that if your a looser, being in a band will get you some female attention !

    A good idea, wrong application. There are better films about break ups and music out there.

    Great underrated movie

    I honestly love this movie although the rating isn't the best it is such a good movie surprisingly really interesting and really funny. I will definitely be re-watching this movie many more times. I loved the soundtrack in this movie. It was amazing nonstop music was playing throughout the movie which I always love and I definitely will be recommending this to all my friends. It was just so good and I've never heard anyone talk about it before, but it randomly came up as a suggestion on Tubi and I watched it and it was just surprisingly really great and sad although it doesn't say it sad it is definitely sad but has a good ending, a happy ending which I enjoyed a lot.
