All in Time

..I didn't know until the end quite how much. Just watch it.

In the music-fueled comedy All in Time, a Manhattan investment banker flies the corporate coop, returning to his Pennsylvania hometown to manage his favorite band. The "follow your bliss" setup might be the latest variation on a very old song, but filmmakers Chris Fetchko and Marina Donahue find a fresh hook, one that combines a charmingly no- tech sci-fi twist with a resounding affection for straight-ahead rock 'n' roll. Though the first-time writer-directors don't entirely avoid awkward patches or clunky dialogue, especially in the early sequences, they find a winning balance between high concept and down home sensibility. Using a mix of low-key magic realism and relatable characters, they offer convincing, unpredictable solutions to standard movie-formula dilemmas over the work-life balance. This is part of the Hollywood Reporter review from Sheri Linden

I confess, I am biased. I have been a fan of the Badlees, the real life band the fictional Damnsels are based on, for 20 years. Originally I watched the movie because of the music. I keep watching it (The DVD is on now!) for the story.

It doesn't feel like an indie movie. The acting, sound and photography are of such high quality. You can tell there was a lot of passion for this story, from many people.

The twist, it is worked into the story so well. Can't say much more without being a spoiler, just watch and you will understand.

Overall, it is just wonderful! You will not regret the time spent watching this movie!

The music of the film drew me in; I've been a fan of the band the film's band is based on for nearly 20 years. I was prepared to like the movie just for the music, but the story moves me to tears every time I see it. It conveys the ups and downs of life perfectly, and carries the viewer along with the film's main character as he experiences a roller coaster of life and love experiences.

The cast clearly put a lot of emotion and energy into making this film. Nothing kills a movie faster than an actor giving the impression of not caring about the role, or even finding it distasteful. You won't find that in this film. It captures some of the quirks of Pennsylvania living and showcases the beauty of the city of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

You won't be sorry you chose to watch this film.

Believe in a dream and make it a reality. This is a great movie about a small town band and the determination of one man who believes in them. Coming from a small town music scene and making it a reality. To believe in a dream and take risks to follow it through. Great soundtrack! I followed the band for many years and I'm so glad I did! The cast is great and contains some of the original band members from the early 90s. I was able to see the movie on a premier basis with part of the cast on hand. It was filmed in Wilkes Barre and a actual night club in Lancaster also most of the people who participated behind the scenes were local people also. Well done.
