This movie was fun in its most basic way. It was a visual trip presenting a three girl rock band and what comes across their path in the middle of LA. It's the seventies and anything and everything goes. Sex, drugs, violence. This movie makes it all look good. The basic stuff applies to a plot that always remains simple and true to itself. I'd much prefer that to a movie that treads on repeated ground or puts together a terrible plot just so it has something. Valley doesn't need a plot, it's that creative. It includes some very cool scenes and fun moments. I recently took a trip to LA and observed that it is a city devoted to partying. So imagine what it was like in the seventies. Or just rent the movie. it's worth it. And as far as the plot, the second half actually does start to tell a cool story. Even the music in this movie is great and while the film is not fantastic, its good because its simple and fun. you don't have to think about it, but on the same note its far from unintelligent.
