Audience Member This film is so much fun! Although the situations may be exaggerated (or are they?), I appreciate the musicians' and actors' willingness to take part in a film that is non-specifically poking fun at them -- playfully & respectfully. The acting is terrible (and I wonder if this is somewhat intentional), which makes it all the more enjoyable. If the performances were spot-on, I truly think the film would fall flat. Beverly D'Angelo's and Michael Des Barres' characters are my favorites. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Loved it! John Taylor, Rosanna Arquette, Michael Des Barres as OLD run of the mill rockstar that won't let go. Could have left out the weird part of the chick giving birth in the "wild" that was a bit over the top for me Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member The filmmakers had their finger on the pulse of their characters, it's only too bad they couldn't have made the unwieldy narrative tighter. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I thought this was going to be a shambles of a movie and it was - but it was good! I watched it because of John Taylor but the storyline was brilliant. The casting was perfect! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not nessessarily the best movie but John Taylor of Duran Duran is in it!!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
