Ed Sullivan - Fabulous Females / Bad Boys Of Rock 'n' Roll DVD

Advantages: good story and quite fun
Disadvantages: performance is just adequate

...! **************************************************************** ************ When I first heard about this movie, I thought 'Oh My God…not again!' Not another 'She's the Man' that movie was bad enough without a remake, and then I heard more about the movie. That Samaire Armstrong was going to be in it, and I had acknowledged her from The O.C on which she played the geeky, comic buff Anna Stern, so I thought maybe I will give it a chance as I quite like her.

Advantages: Gina Gershon, Rock and Roll
Disadvantages: The drummer (who is she anyway!)

...This is one of the most fabulous films ever made. Based on the life of Cheri Lovedog, a failed musician and now a fantastic tattooist, its all about the rock and roll baby! Gina Gershon rocks in this film and actually performs the songs herself, great support is from her other band members, the always wonderful Lori Petty and the beautiful Lori Petty, theres another girl too, but is not even memorable It's all about succeeding in the harsh world of Rock and Roll without selling out, and stories of each of the characters make you care what happens in the end, thought it would be an average "they succeed in the end, so whats the point in watching" kind of a flick but it totally blew me away. The soundtrack is also worth a look at, if you enjoy the film, which I'm sure you will This fillm is loved by Lesbians and straight people alike... Read review
