I’m a sucker for these types of movies. A struggling single dad who owns a neighborhood record store wants to connect with his musically gifted teenage daughter before she goes off to UCLA to become a doctor. He loves music and he makes a point of jamming with her on a daily basis for shits & giggles. To him, its a way to connect with his daughter, for her, its a pain in the ass. When they connect on a pretty catchy song, the two of them embark on a little music fantasy when the dad puts the song on Spotify. The story is simple, good hearted and the music is sweet and delightful. There isn’t much other than that. Nick Offerman & Kiercy Clemons play the father & daughter and they have real chemistry together. They give a small concert at the end of the movie that will make you smile. As a father of a girl the same age, I felt a connection to Offerman’s character and I think that viewing this film that more special.
Rating: *** (B+)
