Nick Damian I know, I know.I got this movie because of Alicia Silverstone.I made a mistake thinking that this was worth my time watching.Oh, the movie was bad, but worse than that was the music.The songs are below Backstreet Boys / New Kids on The Block / N'Sync quality.The songs really sucked.and the script - story-wise, dialogue and overall concept was bad.So really - what was this story about? And why did Peter O'toole's character have to be so stuffy? This movie is just boring..good if you want to go to sleep.There are lots of other films in regards to movies about music bads...this is not one of those to really watch and enjoy.If this is supposed to be the World's hottest band, pop/rock music has really gone downhill and diminsihed in quality.How they got a record deal is beyond me.Worse than the script was the really shitty music and horrible lyrics.And the script is really, really, really boring and pointless.
spoken This refers to the TV version, so I might have missed something edited out.After reading the TV listing's blurb I was set for a boring movie. Boy, was I ever surprised. Before the first commercial I was treated to people who have very realistic appearances (they look like everyday people), new takes on some old humor, evil corporate bullying and delightfully lovable English nobility who can pull off a harmless stunt when cornered by life's uglier realities.Then came the Young People, otherwise known as an American band called Global Heresy, but they weren't the stereotypical, eye-rolling groaners. Definitely hip, loud, raucous and irreverent, they had good hearts as well as useable brains.I'm not sure why some people have a problem with O'Toole in this role, though I can guess that some people like their dramas straight-up and don't want O'Toole to be comedic. I thought all the main characters were delightful, and O'Toole's portrayal of a nobleman forced to "lighten up" is something special to be seen.I have *got* to see this again!
taniav This movie is called "Rock My World" in Canada. It is wrought with absurd cliché's. The sweet innocent band versus the conniving commercial oriented meanie from the record label. The band is purportedly an uberfamous "rock" act, but the songs are corny (think an angry richard marx with a guitar). The band seems more like the ARchies than they do smashing pumpkins...in short its a kids movie, innocent and harmless. Admittedly I enjoyed it, it has some funny one liners and the freshness of youthful rebellion has some appeal to the dreamy inner child, granted the ego is able to get over the silly plot, and enjoy the movie. THe guys are cute, and I was surprised that Alicia silverstone was convincing as a bassist and seems to have finally outgrown the clueless curse/aura. Joan & Peter O'toole ensure the film has class and quality, and are a delight to watch.A fun family surprise. Very easy to poke fun, but I have the thing on tape. Go figure.
hgavarrete I for one loved this movie, yes I won't watch it with my kids in the room but for my entertainment the movie just made me smile. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be deep or thought provoking but it makes you feel good inside and it won't be a waste of time. In fact if you had a bad day and feel like watching something that will make you laugh then this movie is for you. Plus I really loved the music featured on this film! I have found others just like me that loved this movie and have even started fan based groups! I give it a thumbs up! I loved the actors, they were just awesome in this movie and it was just hilarious to see the old couple trippin on acid. Not that I promote or approve those kinds of things but it was a comedy not to be taken seriously. Watch the movie and then rate it yourself!
