• Poster: C-

Review:

Because I want to run right out and watch a film with a big blue car on the poster, this is a great choice. 1 in 1,000 people who see this film might think that, but probably won't.

• Trailer: C

Review:

Musician biopics aren't really a hard sell, but so many trailer producers seem to think they are. Most of these types of stories are so overdrawn in their previews that any audience who doesn't know about the situations being discussed probably won't care enough to get involved. Sometimes a less-is-more approach works better.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
