I could forgive the cheesy moments of this movie, the errors in continuity, the frequent stilted acting, the lack of chemistry between the leads, and the predictability. Those are par for the course in movies like this. What I will not forgive is that the main character gets rejected from a conservatory for being too stilted in her violin playing, goes to Ireland and learns to play with spirit by playing the fiddle, and when she auditions again she gets in because she played over a hip hop beat. Not in an Irish style which she has been learning and playing for months. Hip hop the thing that is never heard or mentioned once in the entire movie. Someone sat down, wrote an entire movie and then at the very end forgot the movie that they had written and decided to end it like Save the Last Dance.
