It's a theme that has been done many times before, and that's ok, but in this case, the acting is ok, but the script is kind of cheesy. There are moments in the movie that it could of been good, but it was not.
I'm really in trouble when I have to say anything about this movie.
First of all, forget about super cheesy and completely unpredictable story. If you are looking for this you should probably go look elsewhere.
Second, I kinda liked this movie. Although I had problems with character development: sometimes it doesn't really makes sense why a character does what he/she does. I felt that some scenes are over- acted and there is a character who doesn't succeed to fit his role at all.
I said that I kinda liked the movie and that's because it made me remember a girl who broke my heart a long time ago. I know that sounds strange but she had the exact same behavior as Jo has and I felt nostalgic when I was watching the movie. I made the same mistakes/efforts that Eric does and this really made me sad. A few days are already passed since I watched the movie but even if it's not the best movie I ever saw I still think about it a lot. The soundtrack is OK, I think Eric has a great voice ( I guess he's the one who actually sings ).
It was great that the viewer gets involved in the festival as well, I heard about Burning Man before but now I learned a few other infos about it.
Overall it's a nice movie with great soundtrack and scenery and you should definitely watch it if you were ever in love with someone.

From Spain, this uncommon movie tells us a good love story from London to the desert of Nevada. Without tears or violins maybe, but with lyricism and guitars instead. Nothing seems easy for our modern Orpheus but why should it be? His little Trip to find love will put him face to face with himself and the complexity of relationships. Sided by the beauty of music. Acting is great, script and scenario fantastic and the music score is perfect. Half of the movie was shot at The Burning Man festival with breathtaking images from the location. A special mention for Sir Owen. Loved his part. For me, a "must see" for the "Singles" generation. And also the others. Especially if you don't like love stories..
Utterly predictable young adult romance. All the emotional depth of Riverdale, with about the same budget for eyebrows, the same artistic passion for two-dimensional character development, and the same target audience in mind.
I'd have rated it a 5, but the Burning Man locale is so arbitrary, I'll deduct a point for that. The artistic license for setting, generally, is absurd. The Reno airport wouldn't recognize itself in this movie. I get the whole middle-of-nowhere idea, but it sure doesn't have to start there. Let this poor emo sap run out of cab money by Wadsworth -- which he damn sure would -- and start it there. So many lazy details. The writers might have at least visited the area with their eyes open to get a better sense of what's actually there.
And the male lead is supposed to be some guitar virtuoso? The playing's OK. No one's going to fall in love with it, unless maybe you're a young, rapid-cycling manic British girl with absolutely no problems who has taken her wild-child diagnosis and decided to run with it.

A completely boring movie full of stupidity. If you need to travel thousands of miles for a girl then better to change the girl.
