Bonus Tracks (2024)
Having gone into the film blind, there was no IMDb reviews at that point. I found a teen film based around two 16 year old boys, meeting with the pretext of helping the awkward and academically failing George, fall for the much cooler son of a musician Marvin.
George wants to leave school with something for his peers to remember him by, and he hopes that that will come at the school leavers show.
George enlists Marvin to help him with his keyboard ditty turning it into a upbeat pop singalong.
Think of Hugh Grant helping the socially awkward Marcus in "About A Boy" and you get the idea.
Its a strange film very badly cast with all of the 16 years kids, looking so much older, I'd guess the average age must be about 25 years old. Even Marvin wears a brace to make him look younger. It is an embarrassing mess of a film. Saying that if you were a teenager in 2006 the music will connect.
A poor 4/10
PS What was more annoying was my cinema treat of buying Cadbury's Crunchie Rocks only to discover that it only contained 15% honeycomb delight and 15% corn flakes, why call if Crunchie if it only contains 15% , Cadbury's hang your head in shame.
