    I agree with the social commentary from Lanette L - except I found the bad decisions and the characters continuing to reject any help left me really disinterested in what happened to them. They seemed to be begging for disaster. I kept hoping the movie was going to become funny - which I thought was promised by the "Kill Bono" idea. I was wrong. I ended up feeling like this was largely a waste of time - though the music isn't bad.

    Starts slow and I almost turned it off but the second half was quite funny. Good music too. I don''t know anything about U2 and dont care to but I enjoyed the second half once I could sit through the first half.
