I really don't get why people are raving about this movie. I watched it because of its high ratings. Seems like an unoriginal story line. I did like the Jazz, but nothing really happens in the story other than contrived drama. The acting was good, and it has some great actors who I have loved in other movies, but there isn't a story, or at least the story seems a bit silly, especially the grand face off at the end. Really no idea why this is getting so highly rated, maybe music students relate to this story better? I dunno, but given other people really like it, I guess it's a movie you need to watch and make your own mind up. For me, this was Meh.
