Totally Rocks... may or may not Rock Your F***ing Socks Off

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2006)

There is no question that this movie rocks, mostly for either D fans or potential D fans who haven't yet discovered JB & KG. I am a D fan.
I was expecting a pretty silly movie. I was expecting A LOT of profanity. I wasn't expecting much of a plot. But I didn't care... D on the big screen would have to rock.
What I found was a movie that wasn't (very) silly, although funny and entertaining. I found, for D, NOT a lot of profanity. I also found a coherent plot that, at least for a D fan, was followable throughout the movie.
I don't know if I was disappointed, but probably not. I didn't laugh as much as I expected, but I didn't roll my eyes at mine or D's childishness as much as I expected either.
What I did expect, and got, was ROCKIN'! The music was great. It's so easy with the D to get caught up in the catchy lyrics and overlook the musicianship behind those lyrics. This movie helps the viewer better catch the musicianship, which is more accomplished than anyone would notice in a lot of what D has come up with. I think that one of the best things about this movie is how it shows KG to be an equal partner in the sick genius of the D.
I'm looking forward to getting the CD... it will be different from the first. I am addicted to the first but didn't necessarily need another one. I will get another D, not a regurgitation thereof. And that fact DOES rock my f***ing socks off! By the way, unlike everyone else in the theater I went to... don't leave during the credits. Besides the theme song from the movie (which plays first) there's another song and a skit. They are worth waiting for that smoke.
If you think you'll enjoy this movie, I think you will. If you think you won't, you may well not. But in either case, if you go, leave your expectations in the ashtray in the car... you're not going to get what you expect. And that's not a bad thing (in this case, anyway)!
