Grand Piano
He de comenzar esta crítica diciendo que soy muy fan de Elijah Wood, ya que ha sido mi ídolo de adolescencia por excelencia. Llamadme rara, pero mientras todas se enamoraban de Legolas tras ver "El Señor de los Anillos", yo me quedé alucinada con Frodo. Así pues, suelo ver todo lo que hace este hombrecillo.
I must start this review saying that I'm a huge fan of Elijah Wood, since he has been my greatest idol when I was a teenager. You can call me weird, but, while every girl was falling in love with Legolas after watching "The Lord of the Rings", I was amazed with Frodo. Therefore, I usually watch every work from this "little man".
Cuando leí el argumento de "Grand
Piano" me recordó bastante a la fantástica "Última Llamada", con Colin
Farrell, una película que en su día me proporcionó una más que grata
sorpresa. Y es que, básicamente, es lo mismo, cambiando la cabina de
teléfono por el piano. Aún así, el concepto y el guión de "Última
Llamada" siguen siendo mucho mejor que los de "Grand Piano".
When I read the plot of "Grand Piano" it reminded me a lot of the fantastic "Phone Both", with Colin Farrell, a movie that became a great surprise for me at that time. And, basically, is exactly the same, changing the phone both for the piano. Even though, the concept and the screenplay of "Phone Both" are way better than in "Grand Piano".

Aunque es una película entretenida y
que te mantiene enganchado fácilmente, el final deja muchísimo que
desear y tiene elementos demasiado caricaturescos. Wood lleva bastante
bien la mayor parte del metraje, pero al llegar el desenlace, se
desinfla de la misma forma que lo hace la película. Es una pena, puesto
que en ciertas escenas he llegado a ver unos destellos muy tipo
Hitchcock, que han dibujado una sonrisa en mi cara. La música eleva la
calidad de la película bastante, y hace que no decaiga por completo, lo
cual es un punto a favor.
In spite of being an entertaining movie that gets you hooked easily, the ending is quite a disappointment and it has elements too caricatured. Wood carries on pretty well with most part of the film, but coming to the end, he lets down in the same way the movie does. It's such a pity, especially taking into account in some scenes I've even seen a couple of "Hitchcock" type flashes, drawing a smile in my face. The music raises the quality of the movie quite a lot and saves it from declining, which is a positive point.

En conclusión, un buen punto de partida al que no han sabido darle las pinceladas apropiadas para un acabado final satisfactorio. Eso sí, salvo Elijah Wood, las actuaciones dejan mucho que desear, empezando por Kerry Bishé, que básicamente está ahí de florero, y cómo han desaprovechado a John Cusack, con lo que me suele gustar a mí.
In conclusion, a good idea which hasn't been handled apropiately to get a satisfactory ending. Also, apart from Elijah Wood, the performances leave much to be desired, starting with Kerry Bishé, who basically is in the movie as a wallflower, and how the wasted the opportunity of having John Cusack, an actor I normally enjoy watching.
