Air: The Musical

Great Story and Songs
I saw this at the Macon Film Festival and was really impressed. Air is a really well crafted story of various people trying to find love and their place in this world. The music is fun and diverse and it really moves the story along in an emotional way. All together this is a great film about how people all move to a different drummer.

Very disappointing
I put this movie on my wish list based on the fact that it had ten 5-star ratings. After watching the movie, I've come to the conclusion that all ten of those reviews came from people associated with the movie.

The script had potential, but was poorly executed. It's three stories in one movie, and it isn't until the last scene that two of the stories kind of come together (although there's doubt about that). Each story on its own would have been interesting had it been more fleshed out. Only one of the stories had any reason to have any sort of musical theme tied to it, and it was that story that made the best (although, still subpar) use of the music.

The acting left so much to be desired. For a short while, I wondered if the director had used non-actors as the stars of the movie for a reason. It wasn't until halfway through the movie that I realized these were just bad actors, not non-actors. If not for a screenwriting credit, I'd assume that this movie was...

Wonderful Independent Movie
This is the second of Jeremy Osborn's movies that I have seen. I saw it at the Kansas Film Festival. It was one of the audience's favorite films out of the more than 20 that were shown. There is real depth in this film. Music, drama, comedy thrown in to the delight of the audience. Be sure to check out all of Mr. Osborn's future films. He is "on his way".
