Ratings and reviews

Jon the main character. ( very likeable) got shat on the whole movie. Gave the band all his money. Tried to help the band and improve himself the whole movie for!........ nothing really. Maybe he helped frank come to terms with his head by the end if the film but it never was reckognized that he did. He just realized in the end that the band was better off with out him and he got nothing for all his hard work. Sucks i would have liked to have seen him get an ultimate prize in the end

I like the striving for musical perfection and the oddity of their methods. I didn't expect the ending, I kept expecting something different to happen but got surprised instead. Domhnall Gleeson is my new Ewen McGegor. They seem to be really good to watch in any production. If you like people or just music for the sake of them, you should not miss this.

The story drowns every character in a self righteous, over the top, hippie, childish, soul searching pool of poop. A guide to hedonistic overly emotional uselessness. A method for saying everything and nothing all at once, which would be metaphoric to life itself, were it not so desperate for originality. Funny looking bobble head though.
