Alex (Ryan O'Nan) could be the saddest musician you
ever met: His songs are sad, his voice his sad, he tells sad stories between songs
and he’s sad when he meets fans at the end of the show. He’s so sad, his
singing partner quits after only a few gigs because he can’t be sad any more.
Suicide (set to sad music) seems his best option when a wacky breath of fresh air
named Jim (Michael Weston) comes into his life bearing a box of child’s musical
instruments and a dream of winning a battle of the bands. So what if they’ve never
played before; Jim is sure they can win so they set off on a cross-country road
trip to live their musical dream. Even if there wasn’t a single song in the movie,
it would be worth watching for the easy-going charm of the leads, as well as
the fiery park that Arielle Kebbel adds as their manager. The fact that the film
is filled with infectious pop music that is just as charming makes the experience
of watching the film an absolute delight.
