Since this movie won two Academy Awards and two Golden Globes for the music, I expected to be devastated by the musical score.

Musically, it has some nice songs, but, it did not come close to: "The Holiday", "Rocky", "Secretariat", "Superman", "Wonder Woman" and I could name many more.

It was more on the order of Moulin Rouge, but even there, musically, it still fell very far short.

Story wise, it left, more than a lot to be desired.

First, the ending is more like a David Lynch movie and leaves one wondering where the dream ends and the reality is. That is not a major negative, but it is a little annoying.

Then of course there is a lot of the story left out near the end, so, it again leaves one wondering, if this is reality...how did we get here. I wanted to see the rest of the story that was left out near the end.

Then of course the ending is not motivational, rather it is more, ... realistic and the movie sets us up for something magical, that we were hoping to be wonderful. In other words, the ending is a let down from the direction the movie was heading.
