    For all its faults, the good-natured, quirky humour that this for the most part offers ultimately makes it very hard to dislike.

    Insubstantial, predictable and often dull, it's a dismaying move from director Allen Moyle, who displayed a real grasp of pulp energy in 1990's "Pump Up the Volume".
  3. 50
    The film exists for its shots of telegenic youngsters busting loose to a bankable soundtrack, and it's the cheesy dialogue, overstuffed plot, and predictable character arcs that come across as superfluous.
  4. 38
    If the movie is a lost cause, it may at least showcase actors who have better things ahead of them.

  1. A great fun film that a first saw a few years ago, great script, great characters and even better soundtrack, one of my personal favourites. A must for any 80s-90s music fans of all genres. Expand

    A horrible film! mainly a weak attempt to cash in on the whole alt rock movement that was the rage at the time. Totally unrealistic plot.
