You must be very young. Fact is 1 in 4 families has a practicing alcoholic or drug addict in them. No, it's not a new story, but maybe if it's shown enough people will figure what to do when they come across it in their life. That this disease doesn't care how old you are, how rich or poor you are, how important you are, or what you want from life.
For the record, many of the world's most famous people were alcoholics, Winston Churchill, Picasso, Robin Williams, Johnny Cash, Ann Richards, Jackson Pollack, Anthony Hopkins, most of these got sober, some I won't mention because they wish maintain their anonymity.
There's nothing wrong with having a problem, just something wrong with keeping it.

That's why this movie wasn't anything special. Just another story line about a singing alcoholic. There are plenty of them...All I have to do is go to Music Row downtown( I live in the Nashville area) and see this almost every night. I guess the movie industry felt that a sober singer wouldn't sell as many movie tickets as an alcoholic that kills them self in the end. But I would rather watch a movie of gloom and doom then some happy rated G movie.
