05/18/2014 Amiable but rather uninvolving entry in the Rebel Highway series, which classic AIP juvenile delinquent films. This film revolves around a 1960s teen dance show that sets out of prove the racism is bad and that rock n' roll is good. John Water's "Hairspray" already tackled this and did it much better, so I'm surprised that a film with such a similar story and setting was even made. Directed by Allan "Rock and Roll High School" Arkush and staring Renée Zellweger, Howie Mandel, Max Perlich,, John Doe, Nora Dunn, Mary Woronov, P.J. Soles, Stephen Furst, Dick Miller, Paul Anka and the criminally underused Gerrit Graham in a small role. Zellweger's likable performance goes a long way in making this film watchable, but overall it's a pale shadow of "Hairspray." See more 02/22/2014 A really great movie for late teens and older! It's about these young people that play in a band and want to be famous. It's really cute but it's also really serious in places.

I have to give them some credit for the unexpected ending, but otherwise the main way to stay entertained here is to ruminate on how nostalgic visuals differ based on a film's budget and the period it was made in. This is so clearly a 1990s take on the 60s, from the slightly too modern doo-wop arrangements to the pastels that are just a shade too close to neon.
