I don't usually bother to write reviews but I just couldn't stand by passively on this one... This film simply does in no way, shape or form deserve above 6, and that's why I'm giving it a 1 now (it is at 8.4 currently). In a word, LLL is mediocre. The dancing and singing are poor. The plot is clichéd yet contrived. The characters are charmless and lack chemistry. The music is OK, but not great at all. The acting is alright, but just that. I could go on... The only plusses are on the technical and production sides. I thought it missed a great opportunity to tell a more important, original and uplifting story about when you don't "make it", even if you're good. It decided not to do so in a really forced and lazy way. I don't even know if this is a musical, a Nicholas Sparks type film or a feel good comedy. It tries to be all and is mediocre to bad at all as well as in the overall end result. The movie says nothing worth saying, is a bit depressing and very boring (which is no small feat considering it's supposed to be a musical). Well, here's the thing Hollywood: to make a great musical you need a good or fun story with great actors who are great singers and dancers. You also need at least five great compositions and choreographies. Oh, I see... you don't, because people are increasingly sheeple and stupid. All you really need is a great marketing machine... Come on people! Wake up!
