Fall in love with the feel-good movie of the year - a joy-inducing semi-musical about a single dad forming an unlikely musical duo with his daughter.
Frank (Nick Offerman) is a young-at-heart dad about to sell his Brooklyn record shop just as his daughter Sam (Kiersey Clemmons) prepares to head to California to study medicine. The pair hold weekly jam sessions, which Frank wants to turn into a legitimate band, but Sam is focused on her future. Her tune changes, however, when Frank uploads a single to Spotify, it becomes an unexpected hit, and their little band may have some potential...
A big, loving film with a huge heart, this is an enchanting look at growing up (indeed it's almost like a father/daughter version of Lady Bird), letting go, and the power of music. A must for the rock star in us all.
