    A likeable underdog movie without a likeable underdog
    I gave up after about 30 minutes. Who was I supposed to be rooting for? I know metal is supposed to be angry, but he lashed out at people that treated him well.

    I couldn't figure out if he was that way because his dad drank or if his dad drank because he was that way.

    None of them were likeable and it is hard to feel for him as an underdog when he can buy multi-thousand dollar drum sets with his daddy's card and drives an expensive car.

    You can get away with a lot of things once your audience gets invested in the characters but you need good characters for that.

    It is difficult to write a driven, self centered character that is also likeable but if you can't do that then don't write a movie with one in it.

    And, what school has a battle of the bands without any signs up about it? School events aren't usually secrets.

    Silly and fun
    I'm not a metal fan so I didn't love the music...I didn't really expect to though.

    I love Jaeden Martell, I think he is one of the best actors of his age and although this isn't his typical role, this was the main reason I watched. He was great, as usual, but the story was fun and more important anyway...friendship and kindness and being a decent person...and if you are a metal fan there are a few cameos.

    I'm not sure how many metal fans would actually like it though. It's pretty sweet and cheesy overall and the random appearance of Joe Manganiello. Overall it's worth a watch but probably wouldn't watch it a second time.
