I love, love, love this movie! I had forgotten all about it until recently, but am so glad I went on e-bay and purchased it in VHS format, (the guy I bought it from included a burned DVD much to my pleasant surprise!) I was fifteen when I first saw this movie and it takes me back as if it were yesterday. Roger Wilson from Porky's is great, so is Scott McGinnis. But I have to confess that the only reason I saw this movie back in the day was because Leif Garrett was in it. That aside, the story line is great, the music is great, all the guys are great - even Clancy Brown. I get all warm inside when I watch this movie because it's so true to the era. And plus, Leif still looked great at this point in time. This movie won't disappoint if you're a music fan, especially an 80s music fan.
I recently rewatched this on cable and forgot how good it was. I like that for an 80s movie it wasn't glossy or unrealistic. I'm not a musician but this movie shows what I assume are fairly accurate portrayals of the highs and lows of being in a band. It also had alot of really good songs. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who hasn't seen it.
I've seen this movie several times and enjoy it each time. It is not so much as the movie as it is the soundtrack, and from what I can tell this soundtrack has never been made avaliable for public release if you view the credits.

My daughters and I watched this movie years ago. I really loved it and so did they. We used to rent it all the time. No one rents it anymore. So now I am looking to purchase it. The music was great and some of the songs touch the heart. Some of the actors you will recognize and some are new faces. But if you like a movie that has a message for young people and a story of love and friendship, you will enjoy this movie. I had only seen Roger Wilson in the movies Porky's. The acting in this is much better. If your looking for an Academy Award type movie this isn't it, but if you are looking for a feel good movie, by all means see it. I am a senior citizen but that doesn't stop me from seeking out a good movie..This was a good movie.
