(((((***Maybe contains a SPOILER***)))))I was bored today, so I decided to watch some TV. I caught this movie from the very begining, and I got pretty wrapped up in it. Despite the fact that it took a huge chunk of my busy day to watch, I couldn't tear myself away from it. And I could swear to myself that Tyler was the kid from VR Troopers (and I was right!). Even though this film was a bit predictable and maybe a little cheesy, it was very enjoyable. There are good performances, likeable characters, and an ideal ending. Watch it if you ever catch it on TV!

Don't let the title fool you, this movie ROCKS! I love movies about the sixties, but many of them that came out in the nineties just plain sucked, so my expectations weren't high, and ended up just watching the second half the first time it was ever on. Man.. I was made when I realized how much I missed. Great thing VH1 is now playing it death. To bad CBS is being cheap and not releasing it to video.

Superior old-fashioned entertainment; all story with no unnecessary filler. Very refreshing for this era. Bonnie Sommerville was outstanding; her facial eloquences expressing all the feelings from joy and happiness, to pain and sorrow, were absolutely wonderful. She made the movie story seem believable. The new music in the film, shows that great tunes with harmony, substance, melody, and excitement can still be written and performed.

Shake, Rattle and Roll is one of the most decent movies I have seen in a long while. Giving teens like myself a good taste of the 50's/60's were like and I believe really taking people like our parents back to those days when they were growing up. Lynn and Tyler are two very well portrayed characters as are Marsha and Morris. I found the smoothness of the movie very noticeable. It really moved along well. It was refreshing to see artists such as KC & JoJo and Blink 182, from our generation playing characters of our parents' generation. This is a tremendous movie that I highly recommend to any age audience. Everyone can get something out of this movie. I personally adored it, heck I wouldn't be up at 11:30 on a school night writing about it if I didn't. :)
