Give it a chance past the first ten minutes! Ok the start was terrible, I mean who starts a movie with a montage? I've always felt that montages are lazy. We were ready to turn it off after the really bad first bar scene. The characters were annoying, the lines were forced, there seemed to be no chemistry. But stick it out. It gets better, is sweet, entertaining, heartfelt, real and has some awesome, well written songs. I loved it. It had great acting and the two leads build up a really believable and natural relationship. I laughed, I cried, and just thoroughly enjoyed it. The 2 hour long movie didn't seem to lag or anything. Get past the start and you won't regret it!
