Oscars 2019: 10 Reasons Why A Star Is Born Is Definitely Not Best Film
5. Underdeveloped Characters And Subplots
Ally lives with her father, Lorenzo (Andrew Dice Clay). Apparently, he operates some kind of chauffeur-driving business and hangs out with a bunch of fellow drivers, creating an environment that amounts to an old codger frat house. Why is this even in the script?
Elsewhere, as Jack literally staggers his way through the plot, we learn that he has a cool friend (David Chappelle) named "Noodles,” who finds him passed out in his yard in Memphis. Again.
Later, Ally turns up, and after Jack makes her a ring made from a guitar string (aww), they call up a minister played by Eddie Griffin (another comedian!) who officiates an impromptu wedding ceremony with a bunch of extras. Ridiculous.
