Beautiful aspiring rock star Jude is stuck in a rut - relegated to recording commercial jingles and lost in a series of one night stands. When she is evicted from her Brooklyn apartment, she is forced to move into the Hamptons home of her wealthy - and selfish - father Paul Lombard, an over-the-hill, Sinatra-esque crooner angling for a musical comeback.

This film tells the story of a successful singer back in the day, who plots a comeback single and if it goes well, even possibly a new album. However, things do not go smoothly as he is faced with domestic troubles with his loved ones.With Christopher Walken in the film, I had high hopes that it would be at least a decent film. Unfortunately, I don't think the film really goes anywhere. It fails to engage or captivate, because not much happens in the film. They characters are poorly developed, and I just don't care about them. Emotional portrayals are lacking, which is unfortunate because there are many points which could provide emotional poignancy. In short, I found the film dull and boring.
This movie is utterly the meaning of dramatic story in the academic Definitions . because of the slow rhythm of introducing & non-exciting initializing perhaps you would be bored but its realistic again!as if jude(AMBER HEARD) repeats & emphasis of her boring trip,aim & actually life . she was backing home to find the answer & her Root, but finds the mistakes in her root!father could not makeup his personality as we see him trying to upgrades his conditions in the wikipedia in scenes. you willfeel yourself in depth of story & characters DURING THE MOVIE. a point which making me hopeful is that we are see somebodies believes in morality against cheating persons in us social & that is real again.
It was not that it was really bad, as much as it was bland and stale.I've seen Christopher Walken give a more lively performance in much worse movies. This was Definitely not his finest performance. Amber Heard was not interesting enough to hold down this movie at all, and the chemistry between her and Walken was pretty weak. It was suppose to be a coming-of-age story, but there is no heart behind it, and it really needs that heart.And it felt like the actors were just dictating the script, not acting.the music was pretty lame too. The song that went through the film, that was suppose to capture the moment, failed to do so. Could not recommence seeing this flick as it did nothing for me.
A pleasant movie about a well off family whose wealth originated from a former great success in music business: a semi-retired artist, two beautiful (and clever) daughters, a nice son-in-law, a smart grandson, a good lawyer (agent and family friend) and a devoted sixth (or something) wife give life to a family picture in the Hamptons.Unfortunately, despite the overall good quality (the cast, above all, is sensational) the film is not memorable. Characters strive to be sincere but do not sound realistic. Dialogue is reach but not meaningful. And the story is agreeable but not funny (or even remotely unpredictable ).And the songs are not memorable either, with the notable exception of 'My Ludicrous Heart' (an old song, probably unknown to greater audience, from Christina Marrs) whose inspired lyrics sounded better sung from Amber Heard than in the original version of the Asylum Street Spankers.
