"I am only writing this review so I can remember later on why I only gave this movie a 6.

But it was a song I have strong emotions about, that I connect to my dad and I'm really grateful we got it. I also have to give credit to Frankie Corio because we only had one and a half takes to get it. She hates that song, she wouldn't rehearse it, and I had to sing it to try and encourage her to come onstage for the shot."
