Stuck Outside of Phoenix

If you want to experience rigor mortis while still alive - watch this movie! I got 40 to 45 minutes into the movie and this is all that happened - Bass guitarist dude in a garage band wants to move to Seattle. He receives an offer to join a band in Seattle. (How nice) Guitarest dude tells his mother (who happens to have more teeth than her mouth can accommodate) he's going to Seattle, she's unhappy about this. Guitarest dude tells his garage band members he's moving to Seattle. They are dudes and they don't seem to care. On the day he is leaving Pheonix and going to Seattle he stops in a convenience store and the lovely cashier chick asks him to go to a concert with her (she doesn't know him). So he puts off his travel plans in order to take this hot chick to a concert. Some of the garage band members steal his car. He ends up going to the cashier chicks apartment and discovers she has a baby. This is where I went into a coma watching this movie.

At this point in the movie may joints froze-up and my head fell off and rolled away! Then my detached head noticed an embalming needle coming near me so I pulled my self together and quit the flick!

45 minutes and that's all that happens - nothing, not to mention the nothing script - if it had a script! I think not!

Do something healthy, like running away from this movie.

It's such a sweet little story! Now every time hear Nirvana on the radio, it makes me think of this movie!

And that Hote character is a surprisingly brilliant actor!

I enjoy the scenes between Lola and Hote the most. They make such a cute couple!

The music is really fun too. I really want to buy the sound track to it!

I wish there was more Lola in it. I don't think her character was explored enough :P

That baby is a freaking scene stealer!!

I had to comment considering out of two reviews, one was a 1 star, which is totally unfair to this great film. The film takes place in the very early 90's, right before Nirvana and Smells Like Teen Spirit turned Seattle into grunge mecca for the next few years. The story centers on Hote, a bass player in a band in Phoenix. If you know anything about the Tempe/Phoenix music scene of the 90's you'll know that The Gin Blossoms, Dead Hot Workshop, The Refreshments, and many other great bands got started, mostly at Long Wongs on Mill Ave.The soundtrack has a lot of DHW and it's amazing. Hote decides to move to Seattle after his buddy Anda calls and invites him to be in his band. Hote gets sidetracked by a pretty cashier and other events and has to spend more time in Phoenix than he hoped, he also might have a golden opportunity with a couple of friends and band right there at home. It's a movie about the hard decision to leave home set in a magical time for the music scene in Arizona. The soundtrack is phenomenal and the only reason I didn't give it 10 out 10 was the sound quality in some scenes. This film was a labor of love for all involved and I could forgive technical issues for the story that has kept me rewatching this film. You won't regret giving this a shot, especially if you dig an insiders peek into the 90's Tempe music sound and scene.
