The Chorus Movie Review 2004

Two childhood friends, drawn together again by personal tragedy, reflect on the role of an old mentor who elevated their lives through song. Story of saintly teacher is told in flashback from his point of view. Very schmaltzy retread that has been made so many times before. Tired and predictably inspiring.
