what could have be an engaging and emotionally charge character study be totally undermine by the predictable factor . fox be ok a nathaniel ayers and the julliard train musician who dream of play with the walt disney orchestra until his bout with schizophrenia drive him into the street and ultimately skid row . look for a good story to boost his flag career and reporter steve lopez { robert rehab downey } get to know him and tell his story . take every element of the classic how we hit the skid movie and borrow very liberally from a beautiful mind and take the bogus feel good attitude of film like rocky you pick the sequel number and whip up too much 1930s style melodrama all that be leave on the screen be a burnt out shell of a movie . it be corny and trite and utterly predictable and plays way too often on our sentiment . i hate to say it and but this be the kind of movie that and if you say you hat it and people will give you bad look . i really wish i could say something positive about this film and but i really can not . the act redeem it somewhat and but not enough for me to give it more than one star . strictly make for tv movie stuff . not worth your time .
