The uneven nature of the film makes this disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (27 July 2010)

Nerdy fan boy is assigned to get his idol to the Greek Theater in LA in 72 hours for a comeback concert. Much soul searching and mirth, make it so a maudlin times ensue.
Wildly uneven film wants to be both serious and twistedly funny with the results being an odd mix of funny, touching and uncomfortable (I didn't need the threesome). Mostly the various tones grate on each other to such a degree that the film doesn't amount to very much. Russell Brand is alternately on target and empty as the rock star, which I think is positive because normally annoys me and that he can actually act (in fits and starts) surprised me. I like bits but over all its a near miss.
