As a huge Nine Inch Nails/Trent Reznor fan, I was going to see this movie at some point in time, and after seeing it, I thought it was pretty good. Joat Jett gives a pretty awesome performance throughout, and Michael J. Fox is solid but seems a little meek for this kind of role, to me. Michael McKean was a nice surprise in the band as well (for fans of Spinal Tap and his work on Christopher Guest's movies).
This movie is all about the ambition of their "bar band" and trying to make your dreams happen, but there's not a lot to say about the plot of the movie. It's typical "my children don't believe in Jesus and are horrible to me" drama with an added twist that doesn't really make you sway one way or the other towards any of the characters. If you're a music fan, you'll appreciate the tale of how bands try and make their dream happen, but otherwise, it's kind of long for such a simple story and lacks the intrigue to keep watching after a certain point.
