Review of Rock My World

Rock My World (2002)
6/10
Guilty Fun
6 November 2004
This movie is called "Rock My World" in Canada. It is wrought with absurd cliché's. The sweet innocent band versus the conniving commercial oriented meanie from the record label. The band is purportedly an uberfamous "rock" act, but the songs are corny (think an angry richard marx with a guitar). The band seems more like the ARchies than they do smashing pumpkins...in short its a kids movie, innocent and harmless. Admittedly I enjoyed it, it has some funny one liners and the freshness of youthful rebellion has some appeal to the dreamy inner child, granted the ego is able to get over the silly plot, and enjoy the movie. THe guys are cute, and I was surprised that Alicia silverstone was convincing as a bassist and seems to have finally outgrown the clueless curse/aura. Joan & Peter O'toole ensure the film has class and quality, and are a delight to watch.A fun family surprise. Very easy to poke fun, but I have the thing on tape. Go figure.
