If you are aware of the various international bands and artists, you will enjoy this musical drama, for a weekend entertainer!




You may look forward to:

• The major credits of the movie goes to its Director: Elizabeth Banks, for successfully having managed a huge star cast into one movie and spaced them adequately. She has created a movie which is by the face of it very feminine, yet all kind of audience can enjoy for the musical influence in it. She has roped in many singing stars and actual bands have multiple cameos in the film
• Most of your time simply flies in guessing around the many cameos and various songs which are very familiar, and have once been chart busters. It was even educative for me, as i was never aware of certain bands like that of an actual Indian-American band 'Penn Masala'
• There is a huge line of credits for the huge star cast of the movie. To begin with the core 'Bella's', they were a team in essence and well balanced out roles for each, with some personal angles and comedy
• The chosen few men in the movie viz. Skylar Astin, Adam DeVine and Ben Platt were good supports, though very limited roles to them but pretty much omnipresent :) 
• Birgitte Hjort Sørensen and Flula Borg are tough competitors to 'Bella'. Loved their appearances from 'Sound Machine' with some rough looks
• The other strong supporting characters were: John Michael Higgins, Elizabeth Banks and Keegan-Michael Key. Fun to watch :)

What you can sleep over:

This is a straight away chick flick :) Sleep over it or chuck it :D




The dampeners you should be aware of:

The pace of the movie is pretty much in  a straight line. It doesn't engage the audience as much. You don't feel the disappointment of these many suspensions of 'Bella' from performing, nor do you feel the heat of it in their final performance, the last chance to prove themselves. A flat steady pace of the movie, minus many emotions leaves it a tad bit bore




My Rating: 3/5
