average film, decent music

Rating: 5/10 (16 August 2009)

This movie was OK. It's probably more for the teen crowd. I thought the original songs were OK. I think the actors that played Curtis and Amelia have potential. The character Rainn Wilson plays made me think of one thing "Jack Black". I mean the role of Fish was perfect for him, but I guess he wouldn't do it, so Wilson took the role.
The best parts were when it showed Vesvious starting out. Having Fish chase the van was just creepy and using the drum sticks to punch holes in the roof. You got to love the 80s look with the hair and black eyeliner. Then at the end, they all have British accents.
Of course, you have to look past the timeline in order to buy into this film. In the movie, ADD goes from you tube to having a number one album from touring a couple of midwestern states in like 3 months. It's a comedy, so get over it.
FINAL VERDICT: If you like the music in this, then you should like the movie. It's nothing earth shattering, but I thought it was 90 minutes of decent entertainment.
