All Men Are Liars

I tried to like this movie. The characters motivations made NO sense. This was more like a bad Three's Company episode. If all good looking lesbian rock bands were all so accepting, I'd be in one. The plot was hacked together, and definitely needed a re-write. I kept asking myself, why did that person just do that? Then I started wondering why the film makers bothered making this movie at all.

I have been looking for off-beat movies and I think I found a gem in this one. We laughed through the whole movie. Was it a great, meaningful movie..no, but I don't believe it was meant to be. It was, however, an extremely funny movie. We kept wondering if these people could ever look normal when not on the set. I really loved the Elvis guy! He is portrayed just like any typical male, crying for his wife yet still trying to make it with someone else. Then you have Irene, the long-suffering wife, who still loves him after all he's done. Throw in two children and you have the makings of an everyday family here in the States. Maybe what made it funny for us was watching it for the first time in 2007.

This is one of the most pathetic, lame-brained cr*p stories I have ever had the misfortune to see.

Just imagine a plot vaguely similar to LADYBUGS - but without Rodney Dangerfield, Jonathan Brandis or anything remotely resembling a sense of comic timing, and you pretty much get the idea where this story is heading.

The sort of film to make you scratch your head in wonder going "what the heck were they thinking here?" I didn't even crack a smile during the whole drawn-out process.

Extremely disappointing and laborious storytelling.

I don't know why, but this film didn't live up my expectations. I didn't really know the story that well, and saw the film for John Jarratt, the real star, while I liked Price, and eye candy Toni Pearen, who wasn't that bad, but really carried a subtle sexiness, I really liked. I guess I've seen enough of films, where guys, get dressed up in lingerie (flick eyes away, sickening moment, honestly) and reality check, please, you would of made this chick as a guy, right away, especially when his man tone went off, instead of a girls in some parts. Rocker, Jarratt, sells wifee's piano, and she takes off. To earn some moolah, to pay for it, to get it back, so it gets wifee back, the older son (Price) dons a wig and puts on girl wear, and joins a girl band, who have just entered town. He falls for singer, sexy Pearen, who unwares he's a guy, where what follows is cliché'd. Look, this is a good hearted film, and it's a cute film, but there are just too many films like this. It has a lot of situations, and impasses, but I've seen it before, and there are some really classic, and amusing moments, one line, spoken with venom Pearen about guy's lying, while, sitting next to Price, is gold. I guess, I was expecting a much more happening film, one more livelier, and the not badly made film, sadly walks a couple of dull steps. I didn't expect it to be set in the country, which was really part of the cliché'd, seen it all before scene. Jarrett and cute Pearen, are the only the best things about it. Soundtrack is awesome, as is Pearen's song.

This is a "goofball comedy" reminiscent of the old slapstick comedies of early black and white film. I didn't try to make sense of the goings-on of a young man (trying to pass in an all girls' band) or his dim-witted father, but just laughed at all the ridiculous situations that resulted. This is one of my favorite movies, really! I'm just sorry that I can't find it on VHS or DVD.
