Stupid is the word for this movie.When you have the self-proclaimed "Director of the 90's generation" mr.Cameron Crowe and the "colorful" cast including the "mystic" Billy Crudup(playing a mystic guitarist!),the mrs.Princess of the Sickeningly Sweet Kate Hudson and some annoying kid called Patrick Fugit(no offense,but thats among the worst acting names I have encountered),combined with the issue of ROCK'N ROLL and all its sides(how touching),good,bad and...well whatever the rest is according to mr.Crowe,you are gonna see something boyo!You are in for the thrill.

Lets take it bit by bit shall we?First there is a kid living in a protected world with his authoritative mother(played by McDormand,the only bright side here),whose rebellious sister shows him the way,or gives him the key to the REAL WORLD.Which is rock'n roll.Doesn't this sound familiar from somewhere??Then this kid becomes a journalist at 15!!Wow,iam sooooo impressed I can barely keep myself from puking.And that problem I had throughout the whole movie.The never ending line of clichés just keeps pouncing and pouncing.Until you are swallowed by the absurdity of it all and its worthlessness.Then that kid meets a knowitall rock journalist legend who claims Jim Morrison was a clown.Woooa,you really opened my eyes there Seymour!:P

Then we have plainly annoying(I cant express how annoying) editor of some wishwash rock magazine who tries so hard to be trendy that its ridiculous.And he's Spanish-Chinese as well!Another sign of stupidity,creating a character by the name of Torres-Fong.Oh,Iam amused brother!And then,as it all wasn't enough,we have the BAND AID.Is this mr.Crowe's attempt to make fun of the 80's humanitarian gig?Hope not,but it wouldn't surprise me from a guy whose greatest achievement is "Singles" and who gave place to grunge in a movie.His ideas are empty and useless as always.But lets return to the subject.Band Aid is a group of girls who claim to be more than groupies,yet they don't qualify for more than entertaining whores.What was the loss of virginity scene about?Please explain Cameron!

And to get to the main thing.Her highness Kate!She should be praised for making a unique achievement.Getting a Golden Globe,Academy Award nomination and a bunch of other awards and nominations by what?Never changing expression throughout the whole film!OK,pardon me,you did have that impressive "lost" expression towards the end.Still....it somehow fails to impress me.And then the band.Jason Lee is irritating as hell as the primadonna singer,while the others are just useless.The plane scene is just uninspired and cliché' ridden.Billy Crudup,however irritating,is easily and by far the best actor in this group.Yet his character suffers from the same disease as the others here.Its weak and pointless.And the ending?What was it about?!He goes to the kid's house and sees his mother,who by now has acknowledged her son's doing and choice of career(aww,isn't that just heartwarming!) and tells her he has changed.Applause,down with the curtain,lights out and tell me why I've been foolish enough to watch this.
