    A bit of a Blur,Sterophonics,Cocteau Twins..etc

    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.

    Absolutely stunning

    I love love love this film. I love the music, I love the acting, I love the way its directed. The chemistry between the actors is exquisite. I've watched it 4 times in 48 hours. I also hate romcoms. It's just half a generation off me, I also have a lot of mates in bands and totally get his passion. I just love Head Cleaner's music, I'd buy their album!

    Great underrated movie

    I honestly love this movie although the rating isn't the best it is such a good movie surprisingly really interesting and really funny. I will definitely be re-watching this movie many more times. I loved the soundtrack in this movie. It was amazing nonstop music was playing throughout the movie which I always love and I definitely will be recommending this to all my friends. It was just so good and I've never heard anyone talk about it before, but it randomly came up as a suggestion on Tubi and I watched it and it was just surprisingly really great and sad although it doesn't say it sad it is definitely sad but has a good ending, a happy ending which I enjoyed a lot.

    Good Film of it's Type - Low IMDB Score is Not Reflective Again

    I stumbled across this whilst in a 'record shop' mode. It is a good film of it's type if you like music, record shops and relationship dynamics. A few niggly bits (including the ending) but the low IMDB score is not reflective again - so I have given it an extra star.
