"Power Ballad" (2026), with Paul Rudd, was the kind of cheesy feel-good male drama which would have been huge in the 90s but it flopped today. What happened?
Great ending but movie was too cringy to me (Paul Rudd, bless his heart but he can't sing and Nick Jonas' big song sucked). But there were elements about it which I enjoyed and the last 20 minutes are superb, Nick Jonas (fine actor) and Paul Rudd have a excellent confrontation scene.
I'm kind of shocked this didn't do well since it is the kind of movie audiences crave for yet nobody saw it, even the low budget couldn't save it.
Are audiences just too jaded and cynical for movies like this? Also, Jack Reynor has to be the worst actor I've ever seen in Film. Even a tree has more emotion than him.
