This film was so vastly underrated that it boggles the mind. I don't know what film those other people were watching, who are cynical and don't seem to have a clue about the value of good entertainment. The performances were great. Dakota Johnson was great as usual. Bill Pullman was wonderful. The gal, Ms. Ross, who played the star was excellent, and Calvin Harrison was amazing. This is really just a good tight production, a good story and very realistic from my point of view. I don't know the music industry. I'm not an insider, but it seemed like a well thought out script and I highly recommend the film. A bit cheesy at times, but overall very good.
