Peter E. @MrAtoz Apr 12 This is a beautiful story about a women and a man who become deeply connected and experience their love for one other through music alone.

The laugher is Glen talking about the movie before it was shot and that he wasn't sure he was gonna get the part? In a movie where you sing most of the music? Hahaha- that's some straight-up Hollywood/ L.A. BS if I ever heard it. What, were they gonna have someone lip-sync all of your lyrics? Silly. Anywho, it's a keeper just for the music.

I could go on and on about how much this movie, and the music, has meant to me and stayed with me. I love it so much!

I did not make it all the way thru but whoever did deserves either an award or needs to get out more. Watching boring people is not something to do.

Guy asks her to spend the night right after they met, and Girl makes a quick reference to some hanky panky. Other than that, it's really rather innocent. Guy says his girl cheated on him and broke his heart, and sings a rather angry song on the bus about how she hurt him, but the montage of their time together was quite sweet. Was he saying that just to win sympathy points with Girl? And her guy didn't seem like a bad guy at all either. Quite quickly, Guy decides to move to London to get her back and their phone call would indicate she wanted him to. Not long after that, Girl tells Guy that her husband is coming to Dublin to give it a go and the movie ends on a very happy scene with the family reunited. So when all this is revealed, we don't really feel bad that this potential couple isn't going to be together. So what are we rooting for? Guy's music career to take off? He makes a great CD of songs with Girl and 3 other musicians, but then it's all up in the air after that. Girl got a job as a house cleaner, but we don't know if she even has any ambitions of being a professional musician. It seems she just wants a happy family. And she got that at the end, it would seem. And yet, at the end, I wasn't disappointed. It's a short hour and a half long movie. Girl doesn't even reveal she is married until about 50 minutes in. And by then, you've already got the feeling the two of them aren't meant to be together, nor is that the point. It sure seemed to be the point based on the preview, hence the lower score on preview accuracy. Then again, would anyone go watch a movie called "Guy Makes a CD"? Probably not. https://marksmoviemind.wordpress.com/2025/10/06/once-review-3-stars/ See more Read all reviews
