I was with the movie untill she wins and doesn't thank Max for teaching her. She doesn't thank her friends for encouraging her and helping make the track. Neither does she acknowledge her mom's music as her inspiration. Why was Max the only one that had to shout out credit but not her?
I was expecting there to be some mutual ground found when the competition ended but all the fun Rhea and Max had up untill the 1hr mark is thrown away. The two had great chemistry as friends or a couple. All this movie teaches people is that if someone makes a mistake to never talk to them again and act like a child and run away or hold a grudge. How very un Disney
Why did the movie spend 2/3rds of it's run time showing Rhea and Max if there is no pay off to the good times they had? It was such whiplash that they never made good. If he was meant to be the bad guy, spend less movie time showing the good in them. Do you know how sweet it is when a friend wants to share their hobby / passion with you. I admit it can be hard for a person to see the student out grow the master. But to have Max come around to appreciating how much talent Rhea had at the end and made good would have been the best role model for boys/girls who face similar experiences. Instead this movie vilannises people who realise they aren't the best with no way to resolve their insecurity.
If it weren't for the way it ended it would have been an easy 7 but alas the message is lost in the movies attempt to do a twist villan based on childish behaviour.
