Surprisingly incoherent and boring

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

A New York City crooner plots his comeback. One More Time stars Christopher Walken, Amber Heard and Oliver Platt and it's a Family Drama and honestly i think the rating is a bit way too much sure it's not perfect because certain story elements could have been better but the performances between both Paul and Jude felt so real and Walken alongside Heard gave two pretty good performances plus they both know how to sing and the soundtrack recycled both old and new songs in a good way. Also the movie wasn't that boring as some people made it sound like and sure it could have better and the ending was kinda disappointing but overall it was still a great film. (7.5/10)

It was not that it was really bad, as much as it was bland and stale.I've seen Christopher Walken give a more lively performance in much worse movies. This was Definitely not his finest performance. Amber Heard was not interesting enough to hold down this movie at all, and the chemistry between her and Walken was pretty weak. It was suppose to be a coming-of-age story, but there is no heart behind it, and it really needs that heart.And it felt like the actors were just dictating the script, not acting.the music was pretty lame too. The song that went through the film, that was suppose to capture the moment, failed to do so. Could not recommence seeing this flick as it did nothing for me.

"Just because you can't be someone new doesn't mean you can't do something new" Jude (Amber Heard) To see Christopher Walken sing as a has-been crooner is to remember he started as an entertainer who could dance pretty meanly on the stage. Here he features an original song written by his character, Paul Lombard, in his sunset years hoping for a new musical start.One More Time is indeed about one more chance, not just for Paul but also his 31-year old daughter, Jude, who has some singing/writing gifts she is weakly promoting. Typically, she has to deal with her father's fame and her own inability to stay anchored in a place that's both physical and figurative.Like dad, Jude doesn't always do what's best for her (both of them sexually vulnerable), and like him she needs another chance as the title suggests. The most satisfactory moments are when the two go after each other's weaknesses, a form of tough love that allows both actors to sharpen their craft. When he comments that they live in "the poor part of the Hamptons," you are aware that they both live in an alternate universe where "poor" is a relative term. Like their lives, not everything is as it really is.The most normal conflict of the film comes when Paul's wife, Lucille (Ann Magnuson), starts divorce proceedings because of Paul's infidelities. Out of this discomforting circumstance comes a chance for conservative daughter, Corinne (Kelli Garner), to show her more aggressive side, another case of a character getting a chance.One more time is a small film that will leave Christopher Walken fans wanting more of his sneer and world weary irony, yet as a washed up but returning pop entertainer, his character seems to fit the actor one more time.

In an era of recycled comic book sequel films and films praised more for their technical aspects than their substance, 'When I Live My Life Over Again' is very refreshing. First of all, Amber Heard is great in this breakout role for her, and I have no significant qualms with her performance, or really, anything in the film. Christopher Walken, however, steals the show, delivering his best performance in years, and is probably my personal favorite of his. He perfectly personifies the aging, listless, dad, and his low key style blends perfectly with Amber Heard's more loud and reckless style. Ultimately, this film, without giving away too much, is everything an independent film should be, and seeing it at the TriBeCa Film Festival was quite the treat.
