I saw it today and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I want to see it again. I don't know why some of you are putting so much stock in what critics say about films. If you listened to what critics said about music, you'd never have bought a Bon Jovi CD.

Jon's acting was good, but he's playing a rock star and he sings in the film so it's hard to separate him from Jon Bon Jovi, especially when you hear his voice. It's not like when he played Jamie in Row Your Boat and you saw the character and not the rock star. If you're a Bon Jovi fan, you'd know Jensen is definitely not Jon because he has a bus not a plane and he uttered words that would never come out of Jon's mouth: (spoiler): "I'm canceling the tour." But for me, Robert DeNiro and Halle Berry are also so famous that it's just as difficult to see "Mr. Harris" and "Amy" instead of Robert DeNiro and Halle Berry. Jon sounds really good, especially on Have a Little Faith in Me. His and Lea Michelle's voices blend beautifully together and I like the way that duet was done in the film. I won't spoil that. I think the Jensen part was written specifically with Jon in mind because Jensen is from New Jersey and it's his last name that's famous.

I would have enjoyed the film even if Jon hadn't been in it, but his being in it made it even better. I've already posted on Facebook to see if anyone wants to go with me to see it next weekend. I plan to see it again.
