People keep comparing this to BoRhap. Not even close. Does not even compare. Unrealistic, predictable, nothing special about it. Acting was ok, story on the other hand, had me rolling my eyes every 5 minutes. This is the type of movie which if hyped, disappoints. Better go see this with the lowest possible expectations or none at all, or better yet, just don't. If you're a Gaga fan, you'll like it. If your panties get wet when you see Bradley Cooper, you'll like it. If you dismiss the fan-factor, you're left with nothing but a sub-par, mediocre film. I rate it 4/10, because Gaga does have a good voice, and the acting is not terrible. But that's all I'll give it. Spend 2 hours and 16 minutes at your own risk.
