We enjoyed the actors but there was no suspense, rather monotone plot.

The story line was good overall. The director or editor could have done a couple more takes in some scenes to relay the message to the actors better. Some scenes seemed forced. The cut away scenes of the city of New York seemed cheesy. The set director was good getting period pieces. Actors were very good doing their job. The cinematographer was decent, there was no real stunning photography. The music was excellent and moving.

The main characters were charming. It was very sweet and romantic.\rI enjoyed watching. He could have tried harder to get job at Motown, but that would have made it even more predictable than it was. Love wins out in the end! A good old fashioned love story.

Movie was SLOW, but sweet.
