I really liked it

This is not a big budget movie, but the director makes it work very well with his budget. The music (soundtrack) that went with it was quite good. The story has been done before - is a simple follow your dreams thing. Character development was surprisingly good, we found ourselves hoping the band would succeed. One of those "what we dream about, but life interferes" things.

Heather Locklear's character was not as well developed as a couple of the other roles, actually quite shallow and today, upon considering the character she played, well the character was shallow. Well done.

Acting was definitely more than adequate, bordering on good at times. Billy Ray Cyrus was well cast in his role, pulls off the nice guy, wanna be a rock and roll star superbly. And I am definitely not a county music fan.

I'll watch it again one of these days. I think if you are a classic rock fan and particularly if you ever had visions of being a professional musician you would enjoy it.
