Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

capone666 SatisfactionThe difference between male and female rock-stars is that women form meaningful relationships with their groupies.However, the songstress in this drama has developed feelings for a nightclub owner.The minute high school is over Jennie (Justine Bateman) and her band The Mystery (Julia Roberts, Britta Phillips, Trini Alvarado) head to Florida in a stolen van to audition for Martin Falcon (Liam Neeson), a bar owner in need of performers for the summer.While they get the position, over the summer the band starts to drift apart as some members fall in love with locals and others overdose on drugs.Everything calumniates when the owners of the stole van show up.Produced by Aaron Spelling, Satisfaction has all of the earmarks of the successful television show creator but for some reason those elements do not elevate this mediocre musical misadventure.Interestingly enough, all-girl house bands boast the lowest bar tabs.Red Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

SanteeFats I do not understand the low ratings by IMDb reviewers and the critics. The entire premise is about a young musical group that goes to try out for a summer gig. They get it and things take off from there. The music are good covers of older tunes, the vocals are decent, and it is pretty funny is spots. Liam Neeson does his usual decent job, Justine Bateman is actually very good, the rest of the band members do a nice job within their characters and are fairly talented. Julia Roberts appears in what I believe is her third movie and is okay. Justine and the older, almost has been Neeson (after his wife's death) do hook up, although nothing is really shown, but it fades toward the end of the film. He lets her go and she lets him go. A poignant ending to the show. The band keeps on playing when they return home. The guard dog scenes are really good and the dog ends up going with the band when they leave Neeson' place. I really enjoyed this movie.

Jeneral28 And curse the covering of songs, the plot and everything. Let's not forget that this is one of the few 80s movies where the characters are seem to be singing and not have the songs in the background. OK, the songs aren't 80s songs (well neither were the songs from Dirty Dancing, Fame, or Footloose), the vocals people say are terrible (urm can you guys sing yourself? And how can you take a swipe at Britta Phillips who took the lead in Mr. Big Stuff)...The plot is weak but so are the plots of Footloose and well Dirty Dancing. Love pairing? What's wrong with Nesson and Bateman? Everyone who criticises this movie seems to think they know it all and can direct movies or choose the right songs.

mm-39 Some people will calls this film a chick flick, I prefer to say it is geared for a teenage women audience. With this in mind I fould it awful. Too sappy, predictable and reminds me of the low budget Bartell Drive inn movies. The all girl band headed out too the beach is toooo predictable. Their characters at best get across as cardbord. The tough girl etc. Even for an escapist movie, where the viewer turn his or her brain off, this film's script is too thin. I watched this with my wife late night, and could not care less for the conclusion. I left not really wanting to know about what happens too the band, or their love interest. For a film I found soaps have better wrighting. This film probably was done quick, on the cheap and it shows. Stay away unless your only other choice is Isthar at the video store. 3 Out of 10
