I Still Believe (2020)

This movie may be based on a true story and had the potential to be inspirational, but something was missing - making me question the almost across-the-board "5-star" ratings on some websites. Perhaps the movie wasn't presented in a believable or sufficient way and/or there wasn't background information about the main characters or enough presented to give the viewer reason to like and care about them.
The movie has themes of love and religious beliefs, plus avoids foul language (something relatively uncommon these days). There were no extravagant bombings, bloody fights, high-speed police chases, drug addicts, or overly dramatic scenes. A 20-year-old man ("all-American boy") goes to college to pursue his interest in playing guitar, writing lyrics, and performing as a professional. While serving as a stage hand (handling guitars for a music group), Jeremy spots a young lady in the audience and apparently experiences "love at first sight." He pursues the young lady (who he doesn't know at first is already in a "complicated" relationship). Melissa is diagnosed with stage 3C cancer, undergoes treatment (chemotherapy) and is miraculously cured (found cancer-free). Jeremy was by her side the whole way and they got married, despite not knowing each other very long and being unsure of her future health. Prayers were believed to have cured Melissa the first time, but the cancer soon returned and rapidly spread - praying would not save her a second time. Jeremy's music excelled, but the love of his life was no longer with him.
What I least liked about the movie was the way Melissa initially treated Jeremy, coming across as not very friendly, cold, and inconsiderate (but actually in a relationship and not as interested in Jeremy as he was in her). After she gets diagnosed with cancer, Jeremy drives from Indiana to California to visit and support her in the hospital. Suddenly, Melissa reveals that she is interested in Jeremy. I couldn't see what Jeremy saw in Melissa when they first met and wasn't rooting for him during his pursuit of her; her change in opinion after being diagnosed with cancer made Melissa look like a "user." This undoubtedly was not the way things appeared in the true story the movie was based on, which reinforces my assertion that something was missing in the movie and the way the characters were presented. I didn't perceive Jeremy's music as being very good, either, giving another reason to take away from his likeability (which should have been high but just didn't get there).
My "2-star" rating is based on what I saw in the movie, not what it tried to be.
