Pretty good, but the screenplay is a bit weak

I don't think this film is a great one but somehow it's a good one; good enough to allow you to sit through to the end. Ben Barnes played the Ryan role and performed it with depth. Katherine Heigl played Jackie, also did a good job. But both of them were blocked to be great just because the screenplay (the storyline, the scenario, the plot) was too weak to be evolved into a greater movie and allowed them to become more memorable. Heigl also looked a bit older than Ryan in this film, but since she already got a daughter and under lot of stress to dissolve her marriage, looking older was acceptable. All the songs in this film were not bad but same as the script, all fell short for deeper, more moving and more touching songs. Those lyrics and melodies were also a bit vague and monotonous, short of passion. Ben indeed played guitar well, but his voice was not great, too thin and too narrow without depth and resonance either.This is a watchable but not great film. I gave it 7 just because I like Ben Barnes a lot. If he could find better scripts and better roles, he could be great. By the way, the girl who played Jackie's daughter was a cute little button, very lovely.

Just a watch really.

Just a watch! I watched this out of idle curiosity, whilst I don't regret the time spent it will certainly will not have any lasting memory, it was just slightly better than watching space go by! Whilst I realise that film is constrained by time there was just not enough given to developing what was deemed important enough to mention but not important enough to explain. With a visit of care and a funeral who and what was "Cowboy?" What happened with the sale of the condo, both struggling for money, suddenly enough for the purchase of a guitar. What happened to Jackie's singing career, surely if she was that successful there was a pot of money somewhere? The songs whilst passable were not exactly great, in tune with the film, so just a listen.
