why would anyone want to make such a bad movie?

Rating: Null/10 (16 April 2008)

i can just imagine the pitch to the studio for this movie...
pitch: OK...we're gonna remake Hair for the new millennium.
studio: who'll buy that? it's 4o years after the fact. it's totally irrelevant. it's clichéd and cheesy. the ending is depressing.
pitch: well, we're gonna take out all the depressing bits, tag on a happy ending. we won't even need to hire a scriptwriter!
studio: great. but we'll have to commission someone to write a soundtrack.
pitch: no we won't we'll crib the beatles.
studio: how will that work?
pitch: well, when you see a revolution going on we'll sing 'revolution', when there's a guy called Jude we'll sing 'hey jude', we'll sing 'strawberryfields forever' when you see some, er, strawberries.
studio: great. just one thing.
pitch: what's that?
studio: can you put bono in it?
pitch: sure.
i'm sorry if you like this movie. i really am.
