Los astronautas del ritmo

I always liked the songs performed by Herman's Hermits. Simple songs with a catchy melody that seems to stay with you for a long time. With that in mind, I couldn't wait to see the band in the film, "Hold On." Shelley Fabares was hot looking but the band including Herman (Peter No one) seemed lame in comparison. The story was unbelievable, and the scenes seemed over staged. In comparison, in the Beatle's film, "A Hard Days Night" the crowd scenes seemed real, VERY real. "Hold On" looked like it was all shot on the back lot of a studio. It's wrong to compare the Beatles with Herman's Hermits, but if there was a better script for "Hold On" and if the viewer could actually see the personalities of the other band members, we would have had a better film. If you are a fan of Herman's Hermits, by all means don't miss this film. Like I said before, Shelley Fabares is eye candy and Herman (Peter No one) does have a few good moments with his famous facial expressions throughout the film. The music alone is worth a watch, but by no means take this movie as a serious venue. Bottom line, it's cute and a fun watch. We'll always wonder what could have been made with a good script? We'll never know.
