Jake : [about the electric piano] $2,000 for this chunk of shit? C'mon, Ray. Murph : [tests the piano] I mean really, Ray, it's used. There's no action left in this keyboard.

I had high expectations for "Murph and the magic tones" based on the trailer, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The storyline was confusing and disjointed, making it difficult to follow along. The performances were lackluster, with the actors failing to bring any depth to their characters. The humor fell flat, and the attempts at emotional moments felt forced and unnatural. It's a shame because the concept had potential, but it failed to deliver an engaging and enjoyable movie-going experience.
