over-hyped

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2006)

This movie was two hours of sad, un-involving story sandwiched around a few minutes of quite nice music. Here's Johnny drunk. Here's Johnny stoned. Here's Johnny trashing a room. Here's Johnny fighting with his wife. Here's Johnny broke and living in a seedy apartment. Here's Johnny hitting on June. Here's June for some unfathomable reason liking the guy. Presumably they got along well in real life, as they stayed married for thirty (?) years, but watching this show makes me wonder why she would ever get together with him in the first place. He seemed to be stalking her. I kept waiting for her to take out a restraining order on the guy. The rest of the time he was either moping or drunk. He never talked to his band mates or told a funny story or even cracked a smile. This movie left me completely cold.
