Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com Lacks focus and understanding, clutching surface details to supply substance when a concentration of personality would've propelled the concept further. Though it rarely bores, it's hardly significant. Rated: C Jun 27, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Rock star Chris Dalton takes his tween-aged son that he has never met from military school on tour with him after the boy's mother passes away. I expected the kid to put a damper on the debauchery you hear about during major rock tours but this band seemed relatively uninterested in the excesses of rock and roll. This film was ok until the baseball game, where the kid gives new meaning to the term "sore loser". Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member 40/100. The main problem with this movie is that it never ever convinces. It is a familiar story and not even well done at that. The acting is never believable, the characters are shallow stereotypes. Predictable, too often slow moving and even the music isn't good enough to spark life into the movie.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Rock star takes in illegitimate son after his mother dies, with expected strains. This film could have used a hit single. Mick Jagger gets credit for the story but results are more Richard Marx than Rolling Stones. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member this drama is awesome with a lot of rock from the 80's... finally after so many years i could see it again on HBO :D Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
