Very disappointing. The main character, Jess Robin, is a self-centered and apathetic individual who walks out on his wife (telling her that he would only be gone for two weeks) to pursue a recording contract. He does not return home and instead quickly takes up with his agent, Molly, who he moves in with after telling his wife that he no longer wants a life as a canter. He shows no emotion toward her or anything that is meaningful to her. After his father discovers that Jess is living with another woman and is divorcing his wife, his father disowns him. Jess cannot seem to connect with anyone in his life. He expects everyone to accept his choices, joyfully, thinking nothing of how he is destroying the lives of those who love him. Molly discovers that she is pregnant with their child while Jess is abusing everyone around him as he struggles with the rejection of his father. He storms out of the studio and simply disappears for year with no explanation to anyone. A family friend tries to reunite Jess with his father but he appears very reluctant. His father finds forgiveness for Jess when Jess shows him a photograph of his baby boy. He reunites with Molly as if he never abandoned her. She is joined by his father is for Jess's big moment on stage at the end of the film. Very unrealistic story with an unrealistic ending about a typical narcissist who only sees things in terms of how they affect him.
