Amusing

Rating: 5/10 (25 May 2009)

Drummer for a hair band in the 1980's is thrown out of the band just before they make it big and forced to take a series of dead end jobs. Twenty years on his niece and nephew desperate for a drummer to play a prom ask him to sit in and suddenly things begin to click and the band begins to go places.
Amusing comedy will depend on your tolerance for Rainn Wilson as the hero of the story. I'm not a fan and I didn't particularly love it. Your like or dislike for the film will also hinge on whether or not you find the film a bit too "teen" oriented. For me the film seemed to be playing to the 14 year olds in the audience which made me feel left out even as I was laughing.
Worth a look but wait for cable.
