My bad that I didn't like this romance. Wanna-be song writer Henry (Ben Rosenfield) gets hit by a cab and in Brooklyn and goes into a coma. His sister Franny (Anne Hathaway) travels back from across the world to be with him. Apparently they had some minor falling out. She retraces his foot steps and meets James Forester (Johnny Flynn) an old indie singer/writer whose best days were past. Henry idolized this guy and now his sister is dating him, going around the cities' diverse music scene. Henry becomes secondary as our wondering boring couple make eyes at each other.
There is one thing that women want. If someone writes a song for her, they love it no matter how bad it may be. The same is true for poetry. Women will carry a poem you wrote for them through an infinite amount of lovers and husbands. It is simple romance that appears to be dying in the electronic age and that may be the appeal of the film. As for me, I was bored to tears.

Should I stay
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
I will keep this short and sweet, like the film. Im sad this movie has such low review, this movie wasn't exactly as I expected it to be but after watching it I realized it was exactly what it should be and that's what makes this movie special. This is a movie I will remember and gladly watch a second time. If you aren't sure about this film, I think it is worth a watch if not for any other reason than to kill time. It just might surprise you and leave you with the warm feeling it left with me. Although the reason why I gave it only nine stars is because the movie ended with a little more mystery than i would have liked, I like a film to ease me into the fact that such a beautiful story is ending. At the same time I'm torn, I like an ending that makes me wonder and keeps me on my toes as well.
Beautiful and Poetic.....Quiet and Honest
I am quite amazed at the bad reviews. This is one of the most beautiful movies I have seen in some time. Incredibly well acted...exceptional music and performances. The sensibility of this film is so unique.Poetic in its delivery, it doesn't just hand you every emotion. You actually have to tap in and feel them for yourself. For me this movie does so effortlessly. Thank you for making this film. I bought it and will watch it often.
