I love a good love story, especially the bitter-sweet ones, and I have nothing against a good remake, but this?!

I have to admit, I avoided this movie for a long time, because of one expression face Lady Gaga and it's cheesy title song. Just not my taste!

On Netflix I gave it a shot and I got what I expected: while she at least has a good singing voice, Bradley Cooper has an too average voice and guitar skills to impersonate a big country star. But at least he can act, while she can't at all, mostly because of her missing mimic. Botox and what ever else took over her face and made it in every way one dimensional. An actress/ actor without mimic is none!

It's enough with these ugly fake plastic people, not only in Hollywood, it's like a pandemic... stay real and natural already. All these smoothly ironed faces somehow remind of Katherine Helmond as Mrs. Ida Lowry in Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" ( This movie is an all time classic and didn't even win an Oscar)

On top of it all : the song lyrics are so ridiculous and childish.

This remake is totally overrated in every sense and a typical example for, how much a big advertising campaign and an even bigger fan base matter more than ever!
