 | The opposite of love is not hate, it's apathy and that's how I feel about this movie. It's not great, but it's not terrible, it's just so...mediocre. Gina Gershon's Jacki is not a has-been because, at 40, she never was. The rest of her band is equally as flat and why was 3/4 of the band gay? An honest bore |

| I am tired of the films that show the person making it big in the end.This is a more realistic picture of the rock world. The characters are well scripted, and acted. From Girshon's lead to Blucas' Animal, every character lets you understand their view of the world. Possibly too many tragidies, but I understand this was based on a true story. Definately would recommend this to the educated viewer. |

| This poorly written, poorly acted movie has so many flaws I don't know where to begin. It's chock full of rock and roll stereotypes and the usual, predictable plots. An aging lead singer of a chick rock band, overplayed to the hilt by Gina Gershon, is suffering a rock and roll midlife crisis in her forties. She doesn't know if she wants to keep the band together. The band consists of a bass player portrayed by the gorgeous Drea De Matteo, who is the coked up loser in the band who resorts to servicing her dealer in the bathrooms of the clubs the band plays in when she can no longer support her habit. (Yawn) Lori Petty plays the lesbian lover of another band member I cared so little about that I didn't even bother to find out the name of the actress who portrayed her. (!) (Another yawn.) Gershon remains true to type: Strong, willful, tattooed, bisexual and confused about love. The bands songs are depressing and whiny, very L7 on smack, and the movie culminates with Petty's character being killed when she is struck by a car while running across a street to catch a pair of punks who have just made off with her guitar and her amps as she's loading them onto her truck. (Oddly enough, the guitar shows up at her funeral a few minutes later in the movie, propped up nicely next to a funeral wreath and a picture of Petty.) Hmmmm. Petty's death scene was played out so ridiculously that I found myself laughing during the funeral scene, and I'm not an insensitive person. But this movie was just too over the top and stupid to take seriously. There are other meaningless sub plots involving a rape, a paroled ex-con and a cheesy record exec that try desperately to save this ailing rock flick, but to no avail. Definitely brain candy that will rot your gray matter if you take it too seriously. You'd be better off renting an old Janis Joplin concert video and settling in with a bottle of Southern Comfort. |
