The lead actor, Vince, is sensational as a faded pop star looking for a comeback, and latches on to an autistic drumming progidy. It's fairly formulaic from there, bordering on Richard Curtis soppiness and photography. It manages to maintain a bit of an edge but is sadly let down by a poor supporting cast and script. There was so much scope to explore many of the backstories - particularly of the absent fathers of both protoganists, and the lost dreams of Amber. The split of the band was too easy and lacked any tension, especially with Vinnie's mum so downtrodden. This was a missed opportunity.
Worth a watch but lower your expectations.
