It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A rock band with issues opt for a get away to record some new tunes with a new lead (Alicia Silverstone). Their host are the actual owners, down on their luck, pretending to be the butler and cook. Meanwhile the band's record company is attempting to get them to sign a contract that has fine print they won't like. Since our butler, Lord Foxley (Peter O'Toole ) is also a lawyer, we know where this formula film leads.The film has charm, but is hardly a classic or even a good comedy. Worth watching one time through.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

I know, I know.I got this movie because of Alicia Silverstone.I made a mistake thinking that this was worth my time watching.Oh, the movie was bad, but worse than that was the music.The songs are below Backstreet Boys / New Kids on The Block / N'Sync quality.The songs really sucked.and the script - story-wise, dialogue and overall concept was bad.So really - what was this story about? And why did Peter O'toole's character have to be so stuffy? This movie is just boring..good if you want to go to sleep.There are lots of other films in regards to movies about music bads...this is not one of those to really watch and enjoy.If this is supposed to be the World's hottest band, pop/rock music has really gone downhill and diminsihed in quality.How they got a record deal is beyond me.Worse than the script was the really shitty music and horrible lyrics.And the script is really, really, really boring and pointless.

OK, this was such a total predictable piece a crap. Basically an after school special gone band and insulting to anyone who ever picked up an instrument. Someone was really screwing some studio exec to get this made, geez, and how did they get a cast to agree. I saw it on TV and want my money back. The person that said it said it was new to them, dude, what 0.99 cent bin do you look for movies in. I may be a little harsh but most of these actor I like and for them to lower themselves to this stuff that was probably written by a C average high school student is pathetic. This made Bring it on all or nothing look like the Godfather.

Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, I know it's going to be a major disappointment. Just because the very sexy and cute Alicia Silverstone is in it, does not mean it can be saved, and the viewer knows it immediately! The perky, plucky, comedic music playing as the crude bunch invades the palace gives you the idea that something funny is about to happen; wrong.The band assembles in a mansion furnished with very expensive items, only to have a bunch of punks come in and immediately disrespect the place... and the old man, Lord Foxley (O'Toole)... as the young idiots play with fencing swords in his face. I find it hard to swallow that a fellow of his stature would allow such behavior.The movie continues with the silly antics of the group. Some scenes seem to have nothing to do with the movie at all, and should have been left on the cutting room floor. There's an outdoor lunch where the Lord plays butler and pours wine for the crew. Don't all Lords treat company this way? I already know at this point in the film that the "Ol' Folks" will become attached to these youngsters, however rude, obnoxious, inappropriate, and downright belligerent they are. One of the youngsters assists "Milady" in the kitchen. She compliments him by stating that she couldn't have done it without his help, where upon the guy states that "I'm gonna get me some tonight!" This proper IL' gal is about 85 years old. The thought of this idiot "getting some" from the "Grandma" is thoroughly disgusting! At this point, there have been 3 commercial breaks and I'm ready to channel surf! However, I stick with it just to try to comprehend the sheer ignorance of the movie altogether. Somebody really wrote this thinking it's somehow charming?As the Lord works in his garden, the beanie-headed bad boy gets chased by the Irish Setter, who doesn't hardly comes across as being at all a "Cujo". As a matter of fact, when they film the dog supposedly chasing the guy, you see instead the dog running along side wagging his tail. And the point of the chase was...? Surprisingly enough, the rock music they play is really pretty good. As "Benson" (they've penned the Lord) plays some type of baseball game with the crew, one hits the ball hard enough to break a window in the mansion. I got the feeling that I was supposed to cringe at that. I'm wondering how I'm supposed to feel at this point of the movie. I'm thinking "what waste of money on the whole production of the flick". We continue with the blonde drummer driving a tractor erratically to the pond (smoking a joint), where upon he spots "something" in the pond. He calls everyone to the pond where we see a young lady skinny-dipping in the pond. It's the Lords niece. When the Lord returns to the home with the Misses, he laughs at her being caught. Milady is surprised to see the Lord "laughing so much lately". I guess I'd have to laugh too if I'd found myself in such a worthless project. Peter O'Toole has been one of our finest actors. I'm wondering if he really read the script before accepting the part.Following, a jam session turns into a heated argument over something; I don't understand the squabble that sends the band members in different directions. Drummer boy goes to chat with Milady and explains that he's too stoned to continue conversation. The rest of the crew join in the parlor the play a game of billiards. OK, I can't take it anymore. This flick couldn't hold the attention of a prisoner who's spent 2 years in solitary confinement. And after an hour of trying to follow what might be a plot, I've given up.A previous reviewer talks about the poor film-making; inappropriate pans, fades, cuts, and overall lame cinematography. I concur. This is one of the worst "comedies" I've had the misfortune of coming across in quite some time. No wonder it's on 3:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
