Review of Begin Again (2014) by Tvjerry — 16 Jul 2014
Mark Ruffalo plays a washed-up record exec who hears singer/songwriter Keira Knightley and decides to make a recording with her…outdoors all over New York City. Considering the subject and the writer/director (John Carney, who did the same for "Once") you can expect lots of music.
The soundtrack is filled with pleasant poppy songs, none of which are memorable. Ruffalo is interesting as always and Knightley may be the most charming she's ever been. Adam Levine co-stars as her ex and does fine as an actor (of course, he sings).
The situations are predictable and the dialogue isn't especially sharp, but the appealing actors and plentiful music make it likeable.
