The 27 Club

Points for originality here but that's about it. Subpar acting, disjointed storytelling and the murkiest most annoying sound mixing you will ever encounter. So bad it's hard to get through it, but I did. There's worse out there but there's so much more that's better. Next time the production team should focus less on trying to be unique and more on trying to be palatable.

I had the good fortune to watch the movie's world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival 2008. It's a moving, thoughtful and yet highly entertaining movie with incredibly gorgeous cinematography.

This is not your same old same old "road trip movie" nor is it one of the well known stories about a band. It's a little bit different and even surprising at times.

The only flaw I can see in this movie is the last quarter of the movie which seems a bit too constructed and maybe even a bit rushed. Then again, the ending is really well chosen and makes you leave the movie with on an upbeat note.

The acting is great. Joe Anderson is fantastic! He's able to show the difference nuances of his character and to transport what's haunting and driving him. The rest of the cast is believable and convincing too. It's a true character driven story which never gets boring.

I highly recommend it to anyone who's in for 85 minutes with gorgeous pictures, great music, honest feelings and fantastic acting. Kudos to everybody and especially Erica Dunton! Love this movie.

This movie is really good, perfect for me, is about a rockstar fightning against grief, and its so well representaded, Elliot (Joe Anderson) make a godly acting, but is not for everyone, is kinda trashy and melancolic, 2 genres of movies that are for specific niches, but if you like both this movie will be 10/10 for you just like me, this is one of those movies that or you love it with all your heart, or you hate it with all your guts.

Quick review: The film chronicles the road trip of a distraught musician, Elliot, and a hired- driver, Three Words. (Named three words because all of his lines, I believe, consist of only three words). Elliot's best friend, and band-mate, just died of a cocaine overdose and joined the infamous 27 club. This is, of course, the name given to all of the celebrities who died tragically at the age of 27. Along the road trip, the two meet a nice Irish girl who accompanies them to Montana, and eventually New York to attend the deceased's funeral. Everything really comes together in this film, and makes it a true indie masterpiece. Joe Anderson's portrayal of a struggling musician is captivating, and he is complemented by fantastic performances from David P. Emrich and Jimmy Hager. Along with that, the stunning cinematography, fantastic direction, and original screenplay are really a formula for perfection. If you want a touching, thought-provoking, moving film, I highly recommend The 27 Club.

There has been better acting in porn for crying out loud.Eliot cant even speak coherently.There is nothing good about this schlock....t is a movie for born-again Christians and should only be shown at churches....Horrible and very misleading title.You have the main character look like Kurt Cobain,yet his music sounds like the Goo Goo Dolls sappiest number.Don't ever waste your time with this garbage...I want my hour and a half back!Everone involved in this movie should never be allowed to work in the business again.Horrible.I cannot say enough bad things about this piece of crap.They are sullying the names of all the people that are actually in the"27 Club"
