I loathed and despised the movie. The main characters were irritating, the songs all sounded the same...like chalk on a board...the word dreary doesn't even describe this movie.
I went for all the acclaim and just plain hated it.

I hate it even more because it has prevented me from seeing the stage play which I am told is wonderful. I can't do it.
ONCE was playing in San Francisco this past July. I just couldn't.
I can't even see BEGIN AGAIN because the director of ONCE did it.

I know I should seek therapy but it's not that big a deal. I'll save it for bigger things.....like not getting a premium seat to AN AMERICAN IN PARIS when it comes to broadway

You are not alone....just to a lesser degree of loathing.

I find Cabbie's loathing of Once extremely unhealthy. But since I know what he likes, not unsurprising.

but one positive note

Cheyenne Jackson's rendering of Falling in his recent concert in San Francisco was absolutely gorgeous...

Your biggest loss in not seeing Once on stage was missing the performances of Steve Kazee and Cristin Milioti.
