Brooklyn hipster widower and teen daughter perform "indy" music. Hijinx ensue.

Holy shit. Too many music films to choose from.

Don't let my opinion carry the day cuz critics seemed to like it but this needn't head up your playlist. As a douchebag Brooklyn dad myself I was sort of embarrassed by the whole thing, which seemed to be a project of the Red Hook Chamber of Commerce & Tourism. Of course he owns a vinyl record shop and goes around recommending indie LPs to other oldsters, and shopping at precious local bakeries. They get Ted Danson to play a bartender but in order to prove its set in Brooklyn he talks mostly about smoking pot. The love interest is a gay artist, of course! I guess at some level its a story about music overcoming grief but I was too cyncial about the other stuff to get that straight.

Sounds a bit like 2013's BEGIN AGAIN, where a past-his-prime hipster record company man, Mark Ruffalo, tries to lure shy singer/songwriter Keira Knightly into recording her music and, in turn, tries to form a connection with his hipster daughter in the process. This one, from the Irish writer/director Jim Carney known for his music movies [SING STREET; ONCE], wasn't bad

Once is a good comparison for this. That was good, this wasn't.
