Never Too Young to Rock

The first 80 minutes of the movie are very bad. Bad photography (always filmed on cloudy and rainy days)and bad editing (when the bands are playing, there are cuts to another scene in the middle of the song). But then come the last 20 minutes and they are really worth the waiting. The three bands (The Rubettes, Mud and the Glitter Band) each perform 2 of their hits on stage and here the photography and the editing is perfect. If you are a fan of these bands, you won't find better material from that period. So, skip the first 80 minutes and jump to the beginning of the concert. If you like these bands of the 70's you will enjoy it very much.

I watched this film about 8 years ago, when they had a Glam Rock night on channel 4. I taped the film because of the music. Every comment I have seen on this film states it is set in the future. But it isn't, it is set in the mid seventies and it states at the beginning of the film, by the late seventies rock and roll will not be shown on T.V and it is up to the hero to prevent that, by enlisting the help of Mud, The Rubettes and The glitter Band. I wouldn't say the film is awful unless you hate seventies music and acting. The acting is not 100% but there are a few funny moments, but remember this is a music film and must only be watched for the music.

This is a film set in the future, although you wouldn't notice, when all pop music across the land has been banned. For some strange reason two men in an ice cream van converted to detect pop performances, are searching the country for the latest pop talent in order to put on a show for the kids. This leads them to 70's popsters The Rubettes, the group with the red suits and white berets, performing on the back of a lorry. Mud,found in a truck drivers caff and the Glitter band. These groups united at the climax of the film for the rousing title song (oop's did I just give the end away)

This is an awful film, with awful acting (what was Freddie Jones thinking about) but I awarded it two points if only for The Rubettes on the lorry....

I got this for my 40th birthday and I love it. I first saw it when I was 12 and I absolutely fell in love with the Rubettes and thank this film for that. It is low a budget weird nonsense tongue in cheek film. Don't expect much, it's not the best but it's different yet captivating.

all though i possibly agree that the acting was poor, i must say that i found the film to be a good laugh and as a teenager in the 70s it had some of the groups of the time in the film and it was entertaining. What made me think of this film is the sad loss of Les Gray who died recently I remember going to see the film and singing along with every one else to the songs, and yes the rubbetts on the back of a lorry is now reminded a site to behold. BUT i will say a film to watch if you are felling nostalgic for the 70s if only to wear.
