    WHAT A GIRL ROCK BAND SHOULD BE!

    SATISFACTION is quite possibly the best "girl band makes it big" film ever. It definitly set the standard for films of a later generation, i.e. Spice World. The Spice Girls could definitly take a lesson or two from the girls of Mystery, which includes Family Ties starlet Justine Bateman and Academy Award Winner Julia Roberts. These girls have it all, and Bateman sure can play a mean cowbell in their cover of Knock On Wood. A must see, you're sure to get plenty of SATISFACTION!
