This movie is not about music, but I think that is the point

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2001)

Fluffy fun. Not a lot of depth here. I did long for more detailed characters, but it was still a fun ride.
Being in high school in the 80's helped me to really appreciate this movie. There were so many teenagers in the theatre that missed so many of the jokes. People kept staring at me because I was laughing so much.
I really liked the ending. I have never thought about how much it made sense to have the over-indulgent 80's give way to the purist early 90's scene. And Mark Wahlberg looks so much better with short hair. :)
The credits were hilarious. Especially when that one early 90's song came on that I won't tell you what it was. It was my favorite joke.
This movie wasn't about music unfortunately, and that is what I miss. But I think the point was that so much of that 80's glam scene was about something else other than music...
7/10
