Title: Disappointing ...
Review: Musically, this film was good and the 'music' and 'musicianship' content was great! A few faux pas on the playing scenes, but if you're not a seasoned musician, you'd never catch them.HOWEVER, the story was nothing more than warm, fuzzy, fluff. There were a lot of 'gaps' in the story and the realism was pretty lacking. I understand this wasn't intended to be a documentary or anything like that, and I wasn't looking for spoon-fed information, I was simply disappointed with the 'movie' as a whole. The acting side of things was pretty tragic. Robin Williams was good, in a disturbing way (due to the character), but the storyline and 'depth' in the other characters was pretty shallow.If you're looking for low-substance, warm, fuzzy, family film ... this one works well.If you are wanting something more 'real' or at least a sense of 'believable', then it's not.
