A chance encounter between a disgraced music-business executive and a young singer-songwriter new to Manhattan turns into a promising collaboration between the two talents. (IMDb)
The slightly awkward camerawork, editing, and acting at first feel a little amateurish but quickly grow on you as the two main characters (of strikingly moving backstories) are developed (the unique flashback format is excellent), giving the film an invigorating down-to-earth, natural feel that’s perfect for its sweet streets of New York-set script about music and relationships. It gets a tad cheesy at points but mostly stays fresh, inspiring, and enjoyable–particularly for the music lover.
7.5/10 (Really Good)
Saw it and liked it too. I do remember it being somewhat cheesy but not overwhelmingly. Mark Ruffalo is a lkeable character. His portrayal is what I remember most

No, it was never cheesy enough to dislike the film. Ruffalo was definitely great in it. Thanks for the comment, Chris!
