A good rock & roll story - An 80's Cleveland, Ohio small-time bar band led by singer Joan Jett & her brother, Micheal J. Fox try to move up in the music world. Only the sister has several nasty habits incuding stealing things & hating their mom (who's sadly dying of cancer) while trying to raise a small child without a father.Gena Rowlands is very good as the pious Christian mom at odds against the rebelious, disrespectful anti-religious daughter. The backdrop of family turmoil can and is an overwhelming theme of this story, but Joan Jett finally comes in to visit her mom near the end (the end of her mom & the movie) which reconciles Joan Jett as finally coming around to cry on mom's shoulder. The end of the movie has more of the 80's rock song"Light of Day" which I enjoyed the music as well as the movie.-Note: this is not a drug-head movie as all they show is the members of the band drinking beer (Joan Jett says "let's get drunk!"in one scene. This is more of a story showing Christians-and the rebellious daughter against the family and the pastor.The hard times with the job & family are overcome however by the music and continueing on to play music.Read full review
i wont write any thing good .. the vHS i bought was NOT exceptable,, i can't watch it .. it was to be in very good shape .. ya right .. its wasn't...the box it cam in was a mess.. so i am NOT happy with it .. i am going to take this matter up with ebay on monday... and i know it wasn't my combo player .. i bought it new .. from a store and it was new.. i wish they would have made this movie on dvd.. it sure would be better...
This movie is a great find! It seems like it didn't get much publicity as most people I've talked to didn't even know it existed. Overall though, the movie is very good and both Michael J. Fox and Joan Jett do superb performances! :) ~Susan Carroll
Joan Jett is great, I have always liked her music, gritty , Movie is not too shabby either, well worth watching, great story about breaking into the music business. Michael j, Fox plays a good part as well. Love it.
Saw the movie when it first came out and thought it was good. I have been stocking movies for my collection for a while and wanted this in my library. Its a great movie with a good lesson on family values i would recommend this to watch im will transfer it to a dvd for my own library and the off the tape
