An average movie

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but it was rather late and I wanted to watch something short and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, even though I have a weak spot for Topher Grace, the damned thing was still rather weak, I’m afraid. Indeed, right from the start, the concept was just too flimsy and, eventually, you might wonder who was supposed to be the audience for this movie. The ones who really love musicals or the ones who really don’t care about them at all? I mean,  there were some decent ideas but, from all the characters involved, the only one who seemed to work was the one played by Taye Diggs. I have to admit that I had actually never heard of JC Chasez before but it turned out that he was indeed, for real, the other guy from NSYNC which was fun. It was also the first movie I saw starring Anne Heche after she tragically passed away only a few months ago but, to be honest, this role was actually quite representative of her career. Indeed, it was a rather half-baked character, some has-been actress who had been quite promising at some point, who was drugged out for most of the duration and it was rather sad how it actually mirrored what Heche herself pretty much went through during her career. Concerning Topher Grace, well, I still think the guy is charismatic but his character was just boring and I really had a hard time to root for him. It also didn’t make much sense that a promising Broadway actor/singer would then decide to become production manager as a new career choice. Anyway, to conclude, even if this movie was rather harmless, I just didn’t care much for it and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
