Matt Brunson Film Frenzy There’s a reason this was dismissed by many as Hard to Watch and Hard to Stomach.

Who C It’s better than Grease, yet less behind High School Musical. The movie is Rick Springfield himself with another name just single and ready to mingle with ambition and obsession with a preschooler woman. The shenanigans are too with a blonde borer. The lines in the screen play are just fine in quality, with a few loopholes on location in the same city. More importantly, it’s the musical scores by Rick that make a score to settle. The film is in general, a hot mess worthy to watch. I don’t care if it’s bad. All I care is Rick Springfield and the music that makes it a movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Kirsten G I begged my mom to see this movie when I was 13. I was obsessed with Rick Springfield so she agreed to let me watch the first R rated movie I ever saw. Much to her regret. Rick Springfield spend a whole scene mooning the audience. Lol. I wish it was streaming, I'd like to watch it again and see it from an adult's perspective now. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/15/23 Full Review Steve D Not a whole lot to it but it works and fans should love it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/07/23 Full Review Audience Member "Hard To Hold" es para Rick Springfield lo que "The Phantom On The Park" es para Kiss: una película insufrible que logra que uno quiera menos a los rockeros que la protagonizaron. "Hard To Hold" es la historia de James Roberts, un músico fastidioso envuelto en un triángulo amoroso entre dos chicas más fastidiosas que él. Las actuaciones son terribles, los diálogos son una porquería y la historia es inexistente. Si el director Larry Peerce se hubiera enfocado más en la música que en el culo de Rick, de pronto hubiera valido la pena. Para el momento en el que se interpretan los himnos de los 80 "Don't Walk Away" y "Love Somebody" uno ya está tan desinflado que no quiere saber nada de nada. "Hard to Hold" es una mierda casi imposible de soportar.
