    A girl power type movie about a female rock band. It's a pretty good drama/comedy, but it could have gone further than it did drama wise, and it could be funnier comedy wise.

    A hilarious film of the 80's! Loved Trini A., Justine B., and Julia R.

    This was a really early Julia Roberts movie. I love Justine Bateman so I watched it. It was so cute. I loved the blonde chick. I want to know where this was filmed. I loved the beach. You gotta check out this old movie. Its cute. And the girl they call MOOCH - she is way familiar... read more....Love the dog too "OMLET" and Liam Neeson is so young. WOW...If you want a blast back to the 80's/90's - Watch this!

    Whenever this movie was on, I couldn't help but stop and watch it. Not because it was a great flick, but I just enjoyed it. Ahh...the 80's.

    Some might say it is lame. I love the relationship between the band and Liam Neeson. It is fun and full of different music.

    I don't know many people that have seen this movie, but for it's time it was a great flick and I LOVE BILLY!!!!!!!

    I thought this film really had a lot of great moments. Justine Bateman, Julia Roberts star in this classic 1988 film about a female band that wants to make it big, but there are lots of obsticles in the way. Liam Neeson also stars in this film as Justine Bateman's love interest.

    I remember this movie when I was a kid. It is a great movie and always will be. It shows a side of Julia that may never come out again. It even has its funny moment where they are singing amazing grace to a Rockweiler to keep from being eat up.

    LOVE THIS MOVIE! i can almost say the lines by heart. The music is what drew me into it but then i liked how all the characters were different so everyone could relate. You had the brain, the gang member, the stoner, the slut, and the guy. Great movie for the ages.

The only satisfaction I got out of the bad movie Satisfaction was that I was no worse for wear having to endure such awful tunes. Full Review

Justine Bateman keeps on singing throughout this freakishly banal flick, and each time it just gets funnier. Full Review
