could have been better...


This movie would have been better if it hadnt had the drummer being so much of a cartoon character. Silly slapstick was not needed to make this a good film. Having Rainn Wilson sticking his head out of the bus only to swallow a bee or get hit in the face with a tree branchor to have him get hit in the balls while throwing a tv out of a hotel room did this movie more of a dis-service as opposed to helping it which is too bad because the movie had some pretty witty dialouge especially with the band manager and overall the movie had heart which is hard to convey. In short this movie could have been so much better.

I didn't mind the bug or the branch scene because the reactions to it made me snicker. But I detest crotch shots in movies. What is this the 90's? Get that hack $#!+ out of here.

Well I think that just about all of the slapstick in this movie was unnecessary and actually hurt the movie. They should have made the drummer's role as a quirky middle aged guy instead of a total horse's as$. Like I said earlier, this film had heart and that goes a long way with me
