Saw it on the plane; made me cry. Great message with bad content worries.

I loved the plot, it makes me cry even though there are some extra useless things hanging around which could maybe have been omitted. More than 50 f-bombs and a few more profanities. Some innuendos and smoking. There is drinking in an attempt to get drunk.

Great music movie

This movie would have been pg-13 if it were not for the language. I find the songs very catchy especially do you wanna go home and lost stars.

Very mature drama has constant swearing, emotion, and smoking.

My rating R for: mature material, pervasive language, drug use, and racy content.

Inspirational but lots of language

It is in inspiring because these pople get there life back together. If you like music, you will love this because they sing songs in all these different places. Plus the music is good. The movie includes alot of alcohol and the man is a alcoholic . He also smokes a lot But he gets himself togther in the end. They curse every sentence and refer to some inaproprite stuff. Overall it was a pretty god movie though.

Great Movie!

This movie is amazing! It really wouldn't be rated R if it weren't for the f word being used commonly. There is a lot of drinking and smoking but other than that this movie is great for kids 13+

Super cute and far better than the trailers suggest.

I only saw this because of the surprisingly positive reviews. The trailers don't do this justice, but instead make this look unabashedly schmaltzy and annoying, but it's actually really cute. It has some tropes, but that doesn't detract from the movie itself, and it actually isn't as predictable as one would think. Kiera Knightley is adorable, and holy crap, she can sing. She has such a great presence and works well with Mark Ruffalo, and he does what he needs to do given his role's rather archetypical characteristics. Whenever he seems to not be as great as Knightley, it's because of the script, not him. The supporting actors are nice and don't feel expendable. The film itself is fun to watch and is consistent throughout, although it feels a bit long mostly because film's first act is a slower than it could be. The music is good and comes off as realistic, and (surprisingly) not corny or like the songs are there just to fill time. Although the movie isn't super original in its concept, the character development is a bit different than other music-centric films, and it has such a nice energy about it. I want to hug Kiera Knightley. 7.9/10, good, one thumb up, above average, etc.
