Jonah (Paul Simon) is an aging rock star trying to put together a new album in the face of an indifferent record label and a talent less producer.  

At the same time, he's struggling to save his failing marriage.

Paul Simon is, surprisingly, a very good actor, I've seen modern big-time actors who couldn't be as natural in front of a camera. 

I'll admit, the name Paul Simon did make me rent this movie, but I've never been so pleased with a rental in years. 

Songs like "Nobody" and "long long day" really put the finishing touches on the whole feel. 

This movie has an authentic quality in its plot that can only be fully appreciated, I think, by fellow artists / musicians who can identify with Jonah's life, which I think is what Simon was striving for. 

Great job Paul, I'm hooked on "One trick pony".
