Overview
Annie is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan – an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe. When the acoustic demo of Tucker's hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its discovery leads to a life-changing encounter with the elusive rocker himself.
As I fan of Ethan Hawke’s work in the last few years I was rather excited to see this film. Having seen it…. it was just ok. I can’t figure out if it is a glorified Lifetime movie elevated by the presence of Hawke and a good dose of quirkiness or was there more left on the table. At different times it reminded me of Love, Actually and the very underrated Man Up man up but at no point did it come close to being as good as those two movies.
I have to admit that at first I hated the last scene. After chewing on it overnight I realized that I read too much into what happened (or maybe, what wasn’t necessarily going to happen).
