Rockbottom

This movie is super fun from start to finish. I laughed and smiled the entire movie and the music was stuck in my head for days after.... Speaking of, I hope we get a vinyl soundtrack release of this!

The story is super well written, the actors are all unique and fun to watch and the music is excellent. You can tell the director put his heart and soul into it. The fact that he wore so many hats and wore them well is amazing. Definitely a lot of talent and love went into this.

Great job to everyone involved. I highly recommend this love letter to rock music to the whole family. It hits all the marks!

I really enjoyed it! Great cast, lots of fun moments and the story just works. It brings me back to the days of Van Halen, Quiet Riot and KISS and so many other bands that were part of my life for which this movie certainly hits at home. If you like the movie Detroit Rock City you'll like this one!

It also brings back memories of Spinal tap, and other films about putting the band back together! If the Blues Brothers can put together a band from members over decades then maybe this movie can be a reality too! It's just a fun, simple story about music and rock and will the guy get the girl at the end as an overall feel good movie!

Absolutely love this film. It's fast, funny, has lots of heart and the music brings me back to those great concert days before MTV. Great to see some talented musicians and even the young son Jake of Jon Bon Jovi. Tom Everett Scott is always such a natural actor and good dad.

It's also a family film that's a little risqué thanks to that rocker Grama they call Agatha that has a crush on the drummer. What a pistol she is. Nice to see young and old telling a story together. The whole cast was excellent and the film moved quickly with some great camera work and directing and acting and writing. Check it out!!

Frankly, our expectations for Rockbottom weren't high, and my smokin' hot wife will often fall asleep when she's bored.

Not this time. About 30 minutes in she exclaimed, "I love this movie!"

This was like Spinal Tap with a lot of over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek humor and the inevitable boy-meets-girl storyline. And while Tom Everett Scott may be best known for "An American Werewolf in Paris," I also thought of Rockbottom as almost a sequel to another fun movie of his, "That Thing You Do!" Hey, let's get the band back together!

Frankly, though, our favorite character was Danielle Kennedy's outlandish and raunchy, Agatha, the owner of a retirement home. She stole every scene and made the movie really fun.

Okay, it's not Oppenheimer or Barbie, but it's only one hour and 22 minutes!

Needless to say, we finished watching!

The family had a great time watching together. The music was great and the story line was fun!!! Got several LOLs out of it. I would recommend this movie even to those who didn't live through the wild and crazy 1980s. The movie left us all feeling good and ready to rock!!! Unfortunately, we were out of hairspray and the spandex was long gone

We enjoyed the concert scenes. The music brought back a lot of really good memories. The band sounded tight with some strong 1980s headbanging beats. We particularly liked the drums...

The family is hoping there is a sequel and an upcoming concert tour!!!
