Film review from AFI Dallas screener of "Rock Slyde"

I was fortunate enough to see this film at the 2009 AFI Dallas Int'l Film Festival as press for a new show to launch exclusively on demand in the Dallas market for Time Warner Cable called "Indie Scene".

I laughed my head off and so did the rest of the audience at both sold out screenings of this film, where people were turned away due to seating shortages. With all the laughing; some follow up lines were missed so the movie was even funnier at the second screening. This is a lighthearted poke fun at film movie that I really appreciated because of the absents of sex, drugs and violence. Will this film win an Oscar, no, they don't recognize comedies anyway but you will be quoting lines from the film with your friends. So with that being said if your looking to have a good time watching an Indie film, check out "Rock Slyde".

Trivia
A headline in the opening credits reads 'Local Sleuth Hired to Find Rocker's Famed Guitar.' Later, Rock Slyde (Patrick Warburton) bumps into his former client who complains Slyde didn't find the guitar. This is Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains. In 2001 a guitar given to him by Eddie Van Halen was stolen. In 2018 two fans tracked down the guitar, retrieved it, and returned it to Cantrell.

Goofs
When Rock Slyde knocks on the door of the Bartologists, the first knock in the series is without audio and the last audible knock does not accompany a physical impact of his knuckles on the door.

Quotes
Jerry Cantrell: Did you ever find that guitar?
Rock Slyde: No.
Jerry Cantrell: That guitar was worth $15,000.
Rock Slyde: No guitar is worth $15,000.
Jerry Cantrell: Well, you definitely weren't worth the U$75.
Rock Slyde: It was $100.
Jerry Cantrell: Great. You suck!
Rock Slyde: You keep making Satan's music.
