Mia Kelly thinks she has it all figured out. She's an Ivy League graduate, a classically trained pianist, and the beloved daughter of a sensible mother and offbeat father. Yet Mia has been stalling since graduation, torn between putting her business degree to use and exploring music, her true love.

When her father unexpectedly dies, she decides to pick up the threads of his life while she figures out her own. Uprooting herself from Ann Arbor to New York City, Mia takes over her father's cafe, a treasured neighborhood institution that plays host to undiscovered musicians and artists. She's denied herself the thrilling and unpredictable life of a musician, but a chance encounter with Will, a sweet, gorgeous, and charming guitarist, offers her a glimpse of what could be. When Will becomes her friend and then her roommate, she does everything in her power to suppress her passions—for him, for music—but her father's legacy slowly opens her heart to the possibility of something more.

Amazing. Colorful.

Coco is a solid 10. I can't believe how wonderful it is. It's one of my son's favorites, so I've seen it enough times to tell you the whole story by heart... but the gist is

Miguel wants to play music. His family is against music due to a long dead grandmothers vendetta. (This movie centers around the legend of the Land of The Dead, and Dia de los Muertos.) Miguel will do whatever it takes to achieve his dream of being a famous musician! He travels to thr Land of the Dead and goes on an adventure with his decesed relatives to get back home to the Land of the living.

This movie is a tale of friendship, trust and familial bonds. It is a wonderfully colorful movie with a great learning experience for people who don't know about Dia de los Muertos. It's full of wonderful music and an incredible journey.
