Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Michael Ledo A rock band with issues opt for a get away to record some new tunes with a new lead (Alicia Silverstone). Their host are the actual owners, down on their luck, pretending to be the butler and cook. Meanwhile the band's record company is attempting to get them to sign a contract that has fine print they won't like. Since our butler, Lord Foxley (Peter O'Toole ) is also a lawyer, we know where this formula film leads.The film has charm, but is hardly a classic or even a good comedy. Worth watching one time through.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

Jim Purvis Charming ? Of course; it's English. Well, it's not English. Turns out it was shot near Toronto. I had no idea until I checked the IMDb on it. That is the first plus. I was watching endless TV crap.. (sleepless) and this movie appeared. I have always loved Peter O'Toole and there he was. I have not even finished watching it and I am forced to write this review. By the way; this is the first I have ever written. Pardon my inexperience. Imagine the disruption an English lord feels when his wife inveigles him into accepting an American rock band into his castle.. (In England a man's home is his castle) but then imagine how the Lord and Lady gradually win the love of the band and begin to change their views. Good acting for the most part, good direction and not too many of the usual clichés made this movie rise well above the usual TV mediocrity. I think I have to be honest and not give it a ten out of ten but it is certainly worth. .. umm. OK 6.8. These days 6.8 on IMDb is high praise so please give this one a chance and if you happen to decide to write YOUR first review ..? Treat this one kindly. Before I get back to watching the ending Just let me say that this is that this is a surprising success.

hgavarrete I for one loved this movie, yes I won't watch it with my kids in the room but for my entertainment the movie just made me smile. I'm sure it wasn't meant to be deep or thought provoking but it makes you feel good inside and it won't be a waste of time. In fact if you had a bad day and feel like watching something that will make you laugh then this movie is for you. Plus I really loved the music featured on this film! I have found others just like me that loved this movie and have even started fan based groups! I give it a thumbs up! I loved the actors, they were just awesome in this movie and it was just hilarious to see the old couple trippin on acid. Not that I promote or approve those kinds of things but it was a comedy not to be taken seriously. Watch the movie and then rate it yourself!

docmarvy Perhaps I'm being overly critical here, maybe there were other circumstances that made me dislike it, I just don't know. There are certainly more than a few positive reviews here referring to this film as a "cute sleeper," but I just thought it was more cheese than content. Of course I think Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright are fantastic actors worthy of all the accolades they receive, and I do think that Alicia Silverstone is talented and worthy of note, but the script is really where the film falls short. Suffering from a bad case of "do people really talk like this?" the movie treads into the common unfortunate territory of miscasting likable actors as alternately snotty yet lovable rock stars and forcing them to say lines that literally fall out of their mouths awkwardly. A specific moment early in the film when Silverstone's character has a fight with the band's rhythm guitarist and the drummer, whose consistent pot smoking is played more for pathos than laughs, insists that everyone calm down and "smoke some doobs or do some yoga or something." What? Despite being in the English countryside the drummer has a seemingly bottomless supply of marijuana. Ordinarily this would be the source of humor in a broad comedy, but this film seemed to just show it matter of factly. Here's the drummer, and he's smoking pot, that's how you know he's the drummer. It seems a little heavy handed, not unlike the heavy hands that must have been running the camera, as several shots have a very sloppy over the shoulder feel to them, but it's used to no effect, other than to jar the viewer.On the upside the songs were decent, and everyone honestly seemed to be trying to make the best of a bad situation. Not unlike watching a regional theater troupe slogging through a lame adaptation. At least they seem like they're trying to make the most of it. It's hard to say really. I don't know if it's worthy of renting, but give it a look if it's on cable. Who knows? Judging by the online reviews you're more likely to enjoy it than hate it.
