A simple story with heart and an excellent cast. Paul Rudd gives this story a very human touch. Furthermore, they also make the story more real by mostly avoiding one-dimensional characters. There is some subtile depth in the story that just makes it better than what Hollywood usually does with this type of story. Heartwarming.

Paul Rudd's version > Nick Jonas' version

Not a film was all that hyped to watch tbh but I thought I’d see if it could surprise me but it’s kinda what I’d thought it would be it’s not a bad film just a little bit of a generic one. The story was hard to get into for the first half I wasn’t that keen on the characters either so that made it harder for me to enjoy the story. I’ve watched surprisingly most of Paul Rudd’s movies so I know how great he can be I’m not sure he’s picking the right movies lately death of the unicorn, Anacanda and now Power ballad all three aren’t bad films but none of them are amazing and I think Rudd is way better than them movies. I’m surprised I didn’t enjoy this more though because Nick jonas I’ve liked since his Camp Rock days and I love the Jonas Brothers I don’t know they didn’t do a great job with his character enough for me to care to much about it. Sandy was probably my favourite character he just doesn’t give a shit about anything it was funny he pretended to be Danny’s security to get backstage and his friendship with Rick was wholesome. The music was okay I guess “I wrote a song about you” is one of them ones that annoyingly gets stuck in your head for some reason and that section is the only part I know lol. A big thing that I did appreciate about Power Ballad it shined a light on what the music industry can be like and the way artists can be treated and pressured into doing things they don’t actually want to do and btw Mac was one annoying son of a bitch couldn’t stand him. The main thing that saved this movie from me giving it a lower rating was the ending that was done very well and the mother and daughter felt more likeable and it was nice the film ended on a positive note at least still will only give this a 6/10.

Is this movie likeable?  Yes.  Enjoyable?  Sure.  Well-acted?  Yes, I would say so.  So why only a 6?  The music is absolutely terrible.  I realize that I am probably in the minority when I say that, but the music felt like it was aimed at teenage girls.  One cheeseball hook after another, and we have to try to pretend like there is some emotional moment going on.   That said, because it was likeable on other levels, it isn't the worst movie in the world.   follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

بول رود مثل العادة ممتاز. الفلم خفيف جدا. مع ثيم جميل عن فقدان الاحلام من شي اجمل في الحياة. المشكلة فقط في الاحداث بسيطة ولا يوجد الكثير فيها. لكن فيلم يستحق المشاهدة.
