Chief Chick Comments

Dan is down and out, separated from his wife and teenage daughter and being ousted from the music production company he founded. In an alcoholic daze, he wanders into a bar with music and hears Greta playing and singing a song she has written. Greta, played by Keira Knightley, has just been dumped by Dave Kohn, a new star on the music scene who falls for someone from his production company even though he and Greta have been together 5 years and she has written several songs for him. I found the story compelling and not really predictable even though I felt good about the ending and the possibilities for the characters. Very fine music as Greta and Dan and crew record an album outside in New York City.

This is a gentle story, well told. The music is really good. And the ending is, indeed, just what I wanted it to be.
