Bandslam


Bandslam 2009
  • Director: Todd Graff
  • Based on the book: no
  • Cast: Gaelan Connell, Aly Michalka, Vanessa Hudgens, Scott Porter, Lisa Kudrow
  • Personal “oh yeah him/her” reaction, i.e. have seen this actor in:
    • Gaelan Connell – Chocolat
    • Scott Porter – Music and Lyrics
    • Lisa Kudrow – The Girl on the Train, Friends, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion
  • Why? Feel-good rock music film. I liked it the first time.
  • Seen:  Once before. Now 16 May 2020

        Being a teen-aged misfit in Cincinnati, Will (Connell) survives by writing letters to David Bowie and the support of his cool mum Karen (Kudrow). They move to New Jersey. Will it be better being a misfit there?
       Well the town has a thing called Bandslam and Will finds himself the manager of a group of misfit rock musicians.
       Like I said, a feel-good rock music film. What more can one ask on a Saturday evening? Just don’t analyse it too much.
