Business, Music & Love

it`s not a bad movie really, I did not regret watching it, but there is nothing really special about it. The script is OK.the directing is not good.it has some good songs like "Don't Look Back".

if you are a rock`N roll fan and want to know about it new things then this movie will not be your best choice.and if you really want a good movie about Rock and Roll you should watch "Almost Famous". one of the best movies of the year 2000.

What begins as a fairly standard by-the-numbers story of a local band hitting it big in L.A. becomes a fascinating study of the two leads, Mills as Lance, Gravity's singer-songwriter, and Quinn as Gravity's increasingly corrupt manager, Ben. Quinn in particular turns in a gripping dramatic performance, as does co-star Flannigan as Lance's wife Chelsea. Catch this one if you can; it's a keeper!

I first saw this film exactly a year after it was released in the U.S, and after 2 years I still love it loads. It's about Lance (Eddie Mills) and Mike Ryan (James Franco), two brothers who start a rock n' roll band. Lance's wife Chelsea (Maureen Flannigan) also joins, and the brother's best friend Ben (Glenn Quinn) becomes the band's - who are called Beyond Gravity - manager. It's a very good movie and most of the acting is fantastic, the late Glenn Quinn did a wicked job of playing the manager drove by money and power and by the jealousy he had on Lance and Mike growing up before he got his own record label - Huge -, the big, posh house, + Mike's girlfriend Rebecca (Cyia Batton). James Franco also acted very well as Mike, although thinking about the movie it seems he isn't in it much, due to his character overdosing and dying, he really does show of some good potential. Eddie Mills did a great job singing, and the girls were good actresses as well. All in all this film is pretty dark, what with drug overdoses, money/power-hungry managers, and how Lance + Chelsea's relationship is strained, collapsing and being rebuilt. I'd recommend anyone to watch this film as I loved it. =)

And to quote Glenn Quinn's character Ben: "I'm the star here in it, that's right I'm the talented one!" and that Glenn was so true to you.

I can`t say I`m a fan of the VH1 music channel . MTV2 is more my scene though I`ve gone off it since they scrapped the viewers request hours . I was very surprised to see that VH1 produced this movie , I knew MTV did but since VH1 is " MTV on mogadon " I wasn`t expecting much , but at any early stage AT ANY COST shows it`s not going to play out in a predictable manner

Okay there are one or two cliches but this is a fairly cynical film , and the best thing about the movie is Ben , a manager who shafts everyone for the chance of a quick buck . Ben is an utter b@stard and comes close to being one of the best screen villains I`ve seen in a while , I promise you you`ll hate this guy with a vengance , he makes Simon Cowell look like the kindest man who`s ever lived . Just a pity the film ends in a laughably contrived manner , but it`s a lot better than I expected

This film wasn't one of the greatest I've seen recently. It played like a very long Aerosmith video. I had to fast forward through the numerous musical parts as I began to get bored of the mediocre music (really not my cup of tea). Those problems aside it really wasn't all that bad with some pretty good acting (or brilliant in Glenn Quinn's case) and a small whiff of a plot here and there. I'll admit I only bought this because Mr Quinn was in it, he was excellent as the evil manager. In fact, I found myself shouting; "Ooh! you BASTARD!" at the television several times during the film.

I'd give it 6 out of 10 but only because of Quinn's great portrayal of a big bastard.
