Purely Joyful Movie!
Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Awesome Movie
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
This movie is really bad. I have to think that they made it really crap-tastic on purpose. The "acting" seems fake, like they are trying to act normal, but are actually just acting "real" poorly. The entire movie is slow and basically only about how messed up they get all the time. I am no stranger to drugs. It's just not really that funny or interesting to watch people sit around and "do drugs" for 90 minutes. There are some well respected singer/songwriters in this film. I hope that this is a joke that they think is funny. I don't think it makes them look good and I don't think it makes East Nashville look that good for that matter. Really, I just hope I don't understand what they were doing here. I also hope not very many people judge Nashville based on seeing this. This is not the East Nashville I know.
