Didn't like the characters, they were 2D and forced (Ex.: One friend used to be fat and the other was insecure, that's literally all there was to them).
Many things were poorly/never explained (Ex.: Not once did they talk about the dad's work/life, so all his discipline/sacrifice stuff falls flat).
All the rap stuff was cringe and unbelievable. Not once the movie made me think he actually had any talent or that he really liked music and rapping.
Unbelievable stuff: Dumb fight with the security guy, he shoplifts like its nothing (in the U. S.), they break into a hotel and it's never mentioned again, girl is dying but lives her life normally...
Acting is often bad, especially when the script makes the characters do out-of-character extreme stuff, like getting mad for no reason, breaking stuff, yelling...
Ending is terrible, the whole "message on the radio" thing couldn't be more forced and unbelievable.
It felt like they couldn't decide if they wanted a romance or a sad love story, so they did half half and it got real messy.
