Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A tacky rock'n'roll drama which regurgitates clichés without any sense of shame. The script might have been written twenty-five years ago - like the rock standards the band specialise in - but it is meant to be taken seriously. Bateman, the daughter from TV's Family Ties, can't sing. Nor does Julia Roberts play the drums too convincingly; and as for Liam Neeson, moping around as a songwriter who's lost the muse, he ought to be ashamed of himself.Author: TCh
