Amazingly sloppily written and directed TV film that consists of random episodes, edited into a seemingly coherent narrative and nothing much more. Poor handsome Steven Cree has hard time remembering which way up the violin needs to be held and can't do much to save the mishmash. Most of the musical scenes are an embarrassment to watch and underlines the writer/director's total ignorance of musical procedures. The make-up and hair of the actors, most of whom seem to be under sedation after having memorized their lines phonetically, seem to be done by a team from a school theatre. Every single scene is overly brightly lit and lacks an ounce of mood or emotion. Sadly not a good film at all.
