Just a fun film

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2007)

It was so refreshing not to see Hugh Grant doing his typical bumbling character. I enjoyed the story very much and thought it was believable. There are a lot of American small jokes in the film that some British viewers may not catch, but I still think it was very funny and anyone will enjoy the film. There were plenty of funny moments and if you happen to be a 38 year old woman like myself, you'll understand that we still love our teen idols from the 80's! I don't know how believable the character Cora was. Seems like she had older women in the audience rather than the 12 year olds that would seem more likely. And it's very unlikely that the writer of a song would get as much credit during a concert. Just small observations were annoying, but it is Hollywood after all. The 80's references were quite funny and I would say that this movie is definitely geared to people in their mid- to late 30's. It's a non-thinking movie, just be prepared to be entertained.
