Movie Reviews of Songcatcher
Movie Review: Good story, but not quite ready for prime time.
Summary: 3 Stars
Songcatcher was a good movie, and I recommend seeing it if you're looking for something more in a movie than the great mass of adolescent-oriented movies that show every summer. That said, due to stereotypical overacting on the part of several actors, I was aware of the fact that they were acting in period dress, rather than believable characters. Because of this, the movie never quite suspended belief on my part, and I was always conscious of the fact that I was watching a movie, rather than absorbed in the story. Editing is something I rarely notice in a film, but in this case three or four scenes ended abruptly enough for me to sit up and take notice making it that much harder to be immersed into the world of the film, which is too bad, since it had a lot to offer.
It wasn't all bad, though. Aidan Quinn does a great job as Tom Bledsoe, Pat Carroll is super as the old mountain woman Viney Butler and the songs are great, and make up for the film's flaws. Go see it, and leave your kids to see "Evolution" or some such dross.
