The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

More evidence of the post electro- whatever generation harping on about how well it can co opt clichés from the past... and totally miss the point.Rock n' Roll wasn't only about loud music, alcohol, chicks, drugs, tight leather jackets, fancy hotels, Vegas weddings (yawn) and 'crazy' behavior (please, the 'gun toting' manager isn't crazy.. he's an idiot). Although these poseurs go out of their way to pack all of that into their own self published and obviously contrived 'music documentary' (included with the CD... oops, red light!), and still make it all appear tediously boring...Imagine the Stones filming a documentary about themselves, and then packaging it with their records....No. Rock n' Roll was about that inexplicable (and impossible to copy) extra ingredient. You couldn't put your finger on it. The only way you could tell a fake was because they were trying to be something they were not.Like these guys. Only the new generation would see something new, where there is only theft.
