Quebrando Todas as Regras

yes, it's cheesy. and yes, it's hard to believe that someone the caliber of peter o'toole would deign to be in a film like this. but i absolutely love this movie. it's nothing more than an enjoyable time filler/waster, but it's not meant to be anything more than that. alicia silverstone does a good job and thankfully lacks the whiny-ness of some of her previous roles (cher - clueless; eve - blast from the past; etc.). i truly think this is one of her better roles, even though it's a smaller film. the actors all look like believable musicians. and the music is good, too. though the plot can be a bit predictable, it's still a good time of a movie. it's nothing that will ever win an award (i think it's even too good for a razzie), but if you're looking for something that is strictly fun and doesn't require any thought, this is a good one to watch.

Charming ? Of course; it's English. Well, it's not English. Turns out it was shot near Toronto. I had no idea until I checked the IMDb on it. That is the first plus. I was watching endless TV crap.. (sleepless) and this movie appeared. I have always loved Peter O'Toole and there he was. I have not even finished watching it and I am forced to write this review. By the way; this is the first I have ever written. Pardon my inexperience. Imagine the disruption an English lord feels when his wife inveigles him into accepting an American rock band into his castle.. (In England a man's home is his castle) but then imagine how the Lord and Lady gradually win the love of the band and begin to change their views. Good acting for the most part, good direction and not too many of the usual clichés made this movie rise well above the usual TV mediocrity. I think I have to be honest and not give it a ten out of ten but it is certainly worth. .. umm. OK 6.8. These days 6.8 on IMDb is high praise so please give this one a chance and if you happen to decide to write YOUR first review ..? Treat this one kindly. Before I get back to watching the ending Just let me say that this is that this is a surprising success.

"Rock My World" - a much better title than "Global Heresy" - tells of a stodgy English Lord and Lady (O'Toole & Plowright) who, in need of cash, play butler and maid in their country mansion to an American rock band on retreat. Most of the comedy in this earnest little "sleeper" comes from the obvious class/culture clashing as the story manages warmth and poignant moments with criss-crossing subplots while keeping the rock music to a minimum. Silverstone, who occupies the entire VHS cover, is little more than a prop with O'Toole and Plowright getting the lion's share of screen time. A slow starter which is a tad corny around the edges, "RMW" is probably suffering from under-marketing as the minimal interest in the film represented by this website is out of proportion to the film's potential mass appeal. Good stuff for PG-13's (language & drugs) and up. (B-)

i saw this movie this morning and thoroughly enjoyed it. While it was not the most intelligent movie ever made, I feel that the previous critique was a bit harsh. This movie was fun, no more no less. Admittedly the actors won't win any awards for their performances but in my opinion they pulled it off. The story was quit shady but at least it wasn't boring and repetitive. I also very much so enjoyed the music. To many movies play the safe road, stealing plots that have been used over and over. This plot was totally new to me and i applaud the movie for that. Silverstone was also as cute as ever. I feel that this movie is completely suffice for something to watch when there isn't anything else on.

This movie is surprisingly good. Unlike in other movies about fictional young pop-rock bands with a personality, the music and the plot are enjoyable throughout; Peter O'Toole is a wonderful bonus. I wonder how could it remain unnoticed in the sad world of "That Thing You Do". One to rent.
