    Finally a teenage movie about rock 'n roll kids that was not predictable! Will knew a lot about music, but didn't play! The performers mostly looked like they could play! The band with the horns & cello actually worked! And we were never really sure if Will would win "the girl"! And who wrote those songs? Good work! Oh yeah! We even liked Lisa Kudrow!!!

    It was better than what we thought it would be. Music good, actors did a good job, held our interest. Had to see how it ended, good movie would recommend to our friends.

    This is NOT a Disney film! It's funny and smart and has great music. Connell plays a kid that technically cannot be labeled a geek. Hudgens was so "Ally Sheedy". Kudrow was also amazing. It ran almost 2 hours without a slow part and filled end-to-end with music. Did I mention the music yet? I think this beat Nick & Norah hands down.

    Yes   |   No
