I don't know how I managed to sit through all of this movie. It's so boring from the start to the end! I never thought Joan Jett could sing and this proves i'm right! Her shouting, hard voice clashing over the other musicians parts makes the film so irritating. The band that sister and brother Pattie (Jett) and Joe (Fox) have called the Barbusters have some terribly cliched songs. 'This Means War'-shouting bad voice, 'It's All Coming Down Tonight'- rubbish head-banger! and all the other so-called 'songs' that feature. The screenplay throughout the movie is so slow and depressing and Joan Jett's acting can't really get any worse from the first 20mins! Even Michael J Fox was not his usual standard in this tripe. Gena Rowlands plays their mother who comes down with cancer and dies (cliche!) and surprise surprise Pattie never got along with her mother, but it turns out okay because she goes back to the club with the Barbusters and Churns out dumb power chord heavy rock'n'roll music to play the film out! This movie is so badly done and cliched that it's pretty unbareable to see through! It's a depressing and dull drama that will not grow on you! Steer clear of this cheaply-made tosh that tries to pass itself off as a so-called 'drama'!!!
