To start the conversation, I really like Elizabeth Banks, even though she is not in the hall of great movie actresses. And I think she doesn't disappoint here, the problem is that the direction doesn't help much, even less the script, which is full of clichés, and cliché is something that hinders any actor's performance.
The worst thing is that I found the premise good, very interesting, a more indie proposal in theory, dealing with loser characters, the universe of rock as a background theme, but which in fact has nothing to do with indie, it's just a disguise, the movie little by little reveals its true face, which is a corny and cheesy drama, very much a third-rate soap opera.
The background rock is also a farce, the soundtrack even starts well with James Gang and some appearances by Foghat and The Clash, but the truth is that even the music from the middle of the film turns into a real disgusting and tasteless music of steakhouse and soap opera, accompanying the real cloying and corny face that takes over the projection from the last 40 or 50 minutes onwards.
In short, a cheap melodrama with a script full of clichés, pretty little faces on the screen and mushyness direction/soundtrack that disguises itself as an indie film.
It's even strange that 7.0 rating on IMDB, but nothing surprises me anymore these days, people like every piece of crap... but it's not a zero rating movie either, I think 4.0 is a very generous rating on my part.
