Satisfaction

Justine Bateman was probably the primary pull, or point of interest for me - from 'Family Ties'. I saw this movie when I was younger (high school perhaps). I even made several attempts to locate/purchase the soundtrack. To this day, I still sing their version of 'Iko Iko'. I had no clue who Julia Roberts was at this time - but her character did stick with me. This movie is fun to go back and watch now, with all of its cast who have gone on to further their careers.

Satisfaction

The difference between male and female rock-stars is that women form meaningful relationships with their groupies.

However, the songstress in this drama has developed feelings for a nightclub owner.

The minute high school is over Jennie (Justine Bateman) and her band The Mystery (Julia Roberts, Britta Phillips, Trini Alvarado) head to Florida in a stolen van to audition for Martin Falcon (Liam Neeson), a bar owner in need of performers for the summer.

While they get the position, over the summer the band starts to drift apart as some members fall in love with locals and others overdose on drugs.

Everything calumniates when the owners of the stole van show up.

Produced by Aaron Spelling, Satisfaction has all of the earmarks of the successful television show creator but for some reason those elements do not elevate this mediocre musical misadventure.

Interestingly enough, all-girl house bands boast the lowest bar tabs.

Well, a rock'n'roll movie rarely has a viable plot, and this one is no exception. But who watches a rock movie for the plot? We watch for the music and for all the beautiful young people. The band members in Satisfaction are great looking, to be sure. The movie itself is worth seeing just to enjoy Justine Bateman's performance as the lead singer. She kills "Knock on Wood," "Lies," and "Satisfaction," among others. Additionally, Britta Phillips does a great job with "Mr. Big Stuff." It's rock'n'roll.

I haven't seen this in ages but I can tell you, as a teen I watched it over and over and over. I'm not sure how it would hold up to new viewers, though. It's a really fun film about a girl band trying to "make it" and facing all the dilemmas that can pop up when a bands just starting to get a feel for themselves and their music. Each member has a unique personality that really meshes in a fun way. I hope they issue this one out on DVD at some point because I'll be first in line to purchase.

Satisfaction is a movie about five teenagers who have a band called Mystery.Justine Bateman plays the leading singer of the band called Jennie Lee.Justine is best known as Mallory from Family Ties.Satisfaction from 1988 doesn't make any movie history, it's just an enjoyable movie.And there's a great opportunity to see what Liam Neeson did before Schindler's List and what Julia Roberts did before Pretty Woman.
