Customer Rating: 
Summary: I lasted about a half an hour.
Comment: I know the majority of people that have previously reviewed this picture have given it stellar marks. I'm sorry folks, I tried and I just couldn't get through it. Maybe it's my fault and a "male thing" but I'm more than willing to cop to that. Let's face it... I'm not that deep and I must not be in touch with my feminine side.
The music started off pleasant enough in Once and eventually it wore me down along with the slow pace of the film. I always give a flick at least a half an hour and I barely made it with this one. The music just hurt the film and my ability to stick with it.
The other thing is that it is purely a "chick flick". My wife and daughter doted on every word and nuance. If you're female and want a love story, this may be for you. If you're a guy, let her watch it alone.
Bottom line: This is not a movie for guys who like guy's films. You pray for action, laughs and intrigue... you get none. "Once" is a more than appropriate title when it comes to this viewer... never again.

Summary: 'Once' as a gift
Comment: We bought Once as a gift for our 11 year old granddaughter. She loved it, and so did her mother and father, so much so that they have watched it many times now in the space of a couple of months. The film is warm, funny, romantic, musically inspiring and charmingly refreshing.

Summary: A Love Story or a Musicians' Story?
Comment: 'Once' is a love story, but at its heart, it is the struggle of musicians and the creative process. The music itself is an integral character in the show, evolving, expressing serious emotions better than the actors can themselves. For any of you who have, even for a moment, dreamt of creating beautiful music, 'Once' is a version of your story. After watching it, I'd be surprised if even a few musicians could resist downloading the soundtrack.

Summary: I adore this film!
Comment: I can't really add anything to the 200+ reviews. But I will say that this movie has heart, passion and a nontraditional romance that left me in tears. If you have a passion for music, this is definitely worth seeing.
EDIT 6/20/08 - I just saw the Swell Season Concert in Chicago a few days ago and it was by far the best concert I'v ever been to. Even if you don't love the film, you need to see the group live, they are amazing! Can't wait till the come back.

Summary: Passionate music; passionate film.
Comment: Twenty-two of us watched this film in my History of Modern Ireland class. The class is roughly three hours long, but when it came time to end, we still had fifteen minutes worth of film to watch. Our professor gave us the opportunity to stay, and fifteen of twenty-two people decided to watch the rest of the movie.
Once is that type of film.
The music is amazing and the plot is strong, with well-written dialogue and wit. The story revolves around a musician in Dublin, Ireland and his week-long experience with a mysterious young woman who quickly captures his heart. The two compose music together, and by the time it's all said and done, their friendship is as strong as their melody. A truly inspiring film topped off with incredible music throughout.

A serendipitous meeting on the streets of Dublin between a down on his luck Irish street performer and a poor Czech immigrant sparks a bond that plays out in this hip modern day music film. ONCE follows the two as they write rehearse and record the songs that reveal their unique love story.System Requirements:Run time: 86 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/LOVE & ROMANCE Rating: R UPC: 024543477594 Manufacturer No: 2247759
