Modern Life Is Rubbish

I was a teen in the 80's and watched live artists regular, Madonna, Duran Duran, Wham, Micheal Jackson etc and then in to the 90's I was watching Stone Roses, R.E.M, Pulp etc and I was expecting life to keep churning out great bands and this is where this film kicks in. In era's of great music the 21st Century and it technology has made things quite boring...Hence Modern Life is Rubbish and a lot of people watching this can see where the main character is coming from . Its a British film and a bit gritty but you feel the chemistry between the two main stars. He looks like a rock star ( dark and moody) and she is that pretty girl next door with a smile that makes your day worth while. My only problem with this film is that there are so many good songs in this film and no Soundtrack album to buy, which is a bit ironic. So watch (and listen) and enjoy.

There is no joy or whit in this film and the characters are not in the slightest bit likable.

But it does go to show that if your a looser, being in a band will get you some female attention !

A good idea, wrong application. There are better films about break ups and music out there.

Great music and great filming. Everyone can relate! A must see.

For what it was I really liked this film. It had a little bit of a slow start but I really got invested into the couples life after about 30 minutes. It had a Fantastic soundtrack (especially if you were born in the late 80's / early 90's). It didn't stray to far from the main storyline, if you liked 500 days of summer you'd probably like this film.

Was hesitant to watch this movie because of a 5.9 rating on IMDB. But I actually liked the movie. A must see for those couples especially those on a long term relationships. :)
