Music was fun

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2008)

So I am a freshman in high school and I absolutely love this decade that this film was supposed to take place in. I have never been too major of a Beatles fan but I am a fan of many other bands of the decade. At my school, freshman were RAVING about this movie. Personally, I find freshman to be stupid and I don't think they understood anything in this movie. They probably just liked the music and played along with the crowed and said it was fantastic. This movie was not fantastic. It was descent. The plot was very...blank. So to speak. I felt as if you couldn't really connect with any of the characters. There is also the fact that I am a extremely conservative person and this movie was extremely liberal. It is kind of hard to enjoy a movie when you don't agree with anything in it. The only reason I give this film 6 stars is because the music is very catchy. Now you may hear people say its so "artsy", I personally thought it seemed like whoever created or directed this movie was trying too hard to be artsy, if that makes sense? All in all, see this movie, it's descent. It's worth the $3 at the video store but don't be surprised if you aren't overly impressed.
Also may I add, I took it as Sadie represents Janis Joplin and Jojo represents Jimi Hendrix. I may be wrong but to me that is the way it appeared. I mean guitar hero and rockin chick...okay maybe I'm wrong!
