As I searched for a newly released movie to watch this week, there where twenty low budget horror movies and this movie. I thought it was Mark Wahlberg and Peter Dinklage by looking at the cover, but to my surprise it was good old Josh Brolin. I have been a fan of his work since Goonies and Thrashin. This is the first movie of Peter Dinklage's That I thought he was really able to shine in, Brendan Fraser and Marisa Tomei were funny and crazy in this movie too. Taylour Paige had a strong presence in the movie playing a very similar character to her part in the movie Axel F. I thought the movie had a good pace and did not drag along it was a good watch. I haven't seen a movie with Glen Close in a while and She played the part well, I thought the movie had good casting and a good script. There were some really gross scenes which would could have been cut and not affected the story, but were kept in for shock value is my guess, I think that's why the movie is getting a lot of bad reviews.

I think this movie was well made, there were a few parts that were unintentionally funny and there was some really funny writing in the movie too. For a movie about a rockstar they don't really have too much music or band scenes. It deals with addiction, loss and transformation, which make for a good story. The main actors got the job done, especially Tiffany Cornwell who played (Vicky), she was exceptional and made the change from being practically invisible at the beginning of the movie to shining bright at the end. I would recommend this movie if you like fish out of water stories, and don't mind a smaller budget movie.
