Once (2007)

Cast: Glen Hansard (Guy), Marketa Irglova (Girl)
For complete info, see IMDb's Once page.

Now that I've seen the movie, I'm even happier that they won the Oscar for Best Song. Nothing against Stephen Schwartz, who did a great job with Enchanted's music and had a few songs nominated. I really enjoyed Once. It's a very sweet story that's not overdone.

This is not the typical movie musical (which should allow those who typically hate musicals to enjoy it). Once is about a songwriter who writes great music and needs help with the lyrics. So it's not like anyone breaks out in song randomly - they're actually writing music together.

I highly recommend this movie that proves you can have a great movie without spending a fortune and shows that there will always be a place for independent movies without big name stars, fancy sets, and special effects.

Grade: B+
