The chemistry seemed very forced and not believable.. and every part of the movie was 100% predictable like I always knew what was coming next despite knowing nothing about the movie before hand. It felt more like a brief documentary of fictional singers. I do think Lady Gaga did a good job acting considering she isn't an actor.. Cooper did pretty well too but nothing special. The relationship never really developed and the characters were very shallow.. I felt almost nothing for them emotionally. The best thing about the movie was the audio recording there were some good performances.. but again didn't blow me away. The story was cliche and uninteresting. I don't know who it appeals to but I strongly feel that the movie has been drastically over-rated in terms of overall quality.
