Set in the dazzling world of the LA music scene comes the story of Grace Davis (Tracee Ellis Ross), a superstar whose talent, and ego, have reached unbelievable heights, and Maggie (Dakota Johnson), her overworked personal assistant. While stuck running errands, Maggie still aspires to her childhood dream of becoming a music producer. When Grace’s manager (Ice Cube) presents her with a choice that could alter the course of her career, Maggie and Grace come up with a plan that could change their lives forever.

I did not have high expectations but this was not bad and Dakota is likeable even if her acting is wooden.

I just rented this from Red Box and this was surprisingly pretty good. It was predictable as there have been other music themed dramas similar to this. But, the music was good and I liked the chemistry with the cast including Ross and Johnson.
If I had to nitpick, there was a few too many coincidences.
Bill Pullman being in this was a pleasant surprise. But, he doesn't appear until very late in the movie.
I'd give it a B.

I saw this when it went it a cheap rental. I enjoyed it overall but the “twist” was dumb.

Somehow I wasn’t expecting this to be as standard-rom-com as it was, but I liked it and the music was good. Dakota Johnson is generally kind of a bore, but she was ok here.
