If you think this film will be funny because it stars Rainn Wilson, think again. The film is about an old man (at least 40) who once in a band turned mega-stars, feels a bit unfulfilled as he was kicked out of the band before they made it big. One thing leads to another and suddenly he is drumming again, but this time for the prom of his nephew’s high school. And again, one thing leads to another and this band of high school misfits turns into a huge success. It wasn’t a terrible film, but that’s hardly a preamble to a great review. I was bored. I watched it. I made it to the end and paid moderate attention. There are several members from Saturday Night Live who have funny enough roles and that’s just what it felt like, a really long skit on Saturday Night Live. I like Rainn Wilson, and he does a fine job but I still find him more fun to watch on the Office.
Nibble: Mildly entertaining, but nothing you MUST watch.
