I don't get the hype, watching this I felt like this is a Disney movie for grown ups. The storyline is foreseeable and the characters miss depth. The male lead Jack is a cliche of a Rockstar: Rough voice, alcohol and drug abuse problems, doesn't care about boundaries of socially acceptable behaviour. The female lead Ally on the other hand is a typical Mary Sue. She succeeds in everything she does at the first try, is a natural talent in everything she tries and gets no setbacks whatsoever. The only interesting thing in this movie is the dynamics of these two opposites leading to a foreseeable catastrophe and to wait for it to happen. That's it.

The kind of storytelling is also very old: The underappreciated damsel in distress who just by chance meets the prince to make everything right for her. This and of course all the singing parts strengthen the feeling of watching some kind of very old, cliched Disney movie. The acting is solid and the cinematography nice, I just don't get the hype and praise.
