Overview
In the hip Brooklyn neighborhood of Red Hook, single dad and record store owner Frank is preparing to send his hard-working daughter Sam off to college while being forced to close his vintage shop. Hoping to stay connected through their shared musical passions, Frank urges Sam to turn their weekly jam sessions into a father-daughter live act. After their first song becomes an internet breakout, the two embark on a journey of love, growing up and musical discovery.
There is a scene early in the movie where one of the leads dismisses a song for being cheesy (I am paraphrasing). The other lead says (again paraphrasing) that if it feels good you should just go with it. That’s the best thing about this film – I really felt a connection to the movie and the characters. I love it when I don’t want a film to end. I can think of a few others that fell into that category – Begin Again, Once, Laggies.
