 Visually wonderful. January 8, 2009
Michael E. Ross
The cinematography is beautiful. The rest is fun and campy in an odd way. Not exactly a serious story. I liked the music a lot, but it doesn't hold me the way the visuals do after repeated viewings. Rockers who have never seen it before love it. It is a neat and unusual movie.

 Women Who Rock! 80's Style!! August 31, 2008
Shawn Taitague
The movie looked promising on every level. Seeing it in a theater, it fell extremely short of my expectations. Good actors who for some reason delivered lines in this movie like they were reading it off a cue card. And played it so "stereotypical" of the "character type" they were portraying it was sometimes "smirk inducing".
That said...in the end it is kinda fun to watch. I bought this soundrack 'cause it is a great sample of some great rock acts of the 80's (without sounding 80's). You've got the "voice" of Contact (who had a hit with "10.9.8"), Marylin Martin (w/ Stevie Nicks doing some of the best b/g vocals on her own song), Maria Mckee doing Tom Petty "justice" yet again.
If you can it's probably best to buy a download (where??) of the cuts you like. Hearing all the songs in context of the film is fine. At home it's a different story. My rating is 50/50 but after all these years
I've made an effort to track down the DVD and this CD so parties involved must have done something right.
Rock and Roll history that never was August 23, 2008
H. Case (NEGA, USA)
The variety of genres spans the album and it works as a great road trip CD as well as suitable backdrop for the film. The sequence of songs does not follow the film, but the album is the better for it. Great Songs/songwriters are the key
Tom Petty and Benmont Tench (He could never be you) Stevie Nicks (Sorcerer)Dan Hartman(I can dream about you) and Ry Cooder(Hold that Snake)-also the music director for the film make the music meaningful outside the movie theater.
orchestral rock, blues, R&B and rockabilly all come together in a tight little package that will get you from here to there
