Wonderful film with moral subtext

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2008)

Rainn Wilson did a tremendous job of acting in this film. Of course, he had to work with limitations, such as a script aimed at tweens, but nonetheless there is something in this movie to appeal to all ages. Movies bore me easily, but this held my attention throughout. My favorite aspect of the script wasn't the most obvious -- but was the depiction of a teen band, beginning to be successful, that did NOT have young band members that were drinking, drugging and sexing. This is a very important message to provide young people -- you can do rocknroll without crippling your soul. And then there were the belly laughs. Wilson was terrific in his comedic delivery.
