There are a lot of reasons I personally like this movie (in no particular order).
I like seeing well known actors in movies that are not well known. Mark does a really good job althought it is pretty obvious he did not do the singing. And, yes, I have a thing for Jen.
I did play in cover bands on and off for 20 years and I know a lot of things from personal experience. Not the beeing-a-star-part but the egos of musicians. [spoiler] I always chuckle when Chris tells the guitarist he doesn´t play it right. [/spoiler] That is straight out of life.
I have been, and still are, a metalhead by heart myself and back then I would have killed for that hair ;-) The soundtrack is really good and creates a fitting atmosphere.
But I really think it is a good movie. [spoiler] I like how the story kind of goes in a circle. Everytime the singer is thrown out there already is someone wanting the part. You don´t see that you´re replaceable until it is you that is replaced. I think this still is an important massage, even more so today with all this casting shows still going on.
The movie shows the rock star life in a bit of a exaggerated way. Puts it a bit over the top to make a point. But those things did happen with some bands. I don´t mind the love story and I don´t think it takes to much time. It is essential in bringing Chris back because it grounds him in real life. And I personally enjoyed the end when he finally does his thing. I know it´s cool when someone comes to you and says he liked your cover. But nothing beats someone telling you they like your own song. [/spoiler]
