Do you want 2 hours of Cooper drinking, and Lady Gaga being herself with really cheesy pop music as soundtrack ? This is your movie. The drunkard musician lending fame to fresh face with talent is an overused theme and this version brings nothing new to it. At a certain point you just get so sick of watching Bradley Cooper consume drink after drink. What is moving the plot? Why is every shot a close up? Are we supposed to believe these people have talent despite the awful lyrics they write?

I have not seen the previous version of this movie -just found out there even is one- and I could accurately guess what will happen throughout the movie. Thats how stale it is.

I honestly cannot stress enough how much I regret the 2 hours I can never get back. I'm only writing this on the hopes of saving some people from the same pain.
