Just enjoy it for what it is and stop reading too much into it. It's just a feel good movie. I'd had a shit day at work, I went to the cinema, watched this and left feeling happy enough, so I guess it did it's job. It was less funny than I expected but i still liked it as I'm a frustrated rocker myself so I kind of empathised with the guy. I can't help thinking that people who have enough time and inclination to analyse, rant and rave and be basically bitchy about a film should go out and get a job, a girlfriend or simply a life. It aint worth it buds! For fuck sake! Just enjoy it for what it is and stop reading too much into it. It’s just a feel good movie.

It's obviously to make 14 year old girls interested. That guy would never join an emo band, he's an old school heavy metal rocker, not some emo sellout. Vesuvius would not have an emo band as support, this movie basically shits on the name of old school heavy metal. It's like My Chemical Romance supporting Iron Maiden. And if Vesuvius did actually decide to have an emo band supporting them, the crowd wouldn't be so welcoming, and they certainly wouldn't have wanted A.D.D back on. Plus, A.D.D is a crap band name. Some bits were funny, bit either make it all heavy metal, all emo, or don't fucking make it, because this shits on one of the best genres of music ever.

This film had something that none of the other Judd Crapatow films have - it had heart (aside from 40 YOV). Thank christ it didn't have Jonah Hill in it with his acerbic, caustic and unfunny sarcasm. The cast was great - especially the supporting ones - the son Matt (keyboard player), Stan, the brother-in-law and even Christine Applegate. They all rang true. Is it perfect? No. It was flawed at the beginning with the terminator-type sequence that fell flat - which was a shame because people might be turned off after seeing it. (there are a few places it could have used some fine turning) Sticking with this movie is worth it because after that, it was heart-felt and genuinely compelling and funny. I am so sick of movies (read as : I won't waste my money on them) whose only reason for existing is to use played, laboured and non-humourous four letter expletives - plus a cast of uncaring and sarcastic individuals that make me dispell any illusion of film, sit up and say 'man, I really don't like that character and actor'. This latest craze of, for lack of a better word, unfunnadies (my term) has had its day. More movies like THE ROCKER is a far cry better then piss-poor screenplays and films with false dialogue that have supposed 'right out of my childhood' experiences (I am looking at your Seth Rogan).

Sometimes I wonder if good comedic actors like Wilson get offered a movie like this and are afraid that if they turn it down no more offers will come. I was afraid this would happen.
