I was very disappointed with this film, especially after reading such glowing reviews I had a very hard time understanding the dialog for a few reasons - everyone talked over everyone else, Bradley Cooper sounded like he had a cold and there was a cigarette in his mouth every minute of the movie. I don't there was enough character development and there wasn't any background music in any scenes other than when he was conducting, which would have made the dialog even harder to understand. I would like a refund.
