Bandslam

Initially I thought that this was going to be another teen music movie. It was, but not in a bad way. Great song references, and a clever and fun plot makes this movie worth watching. Its a shame its bland title does little to its credit. I loved 'Almost Famous', and while this is nowhere near on the same level, it is in the same vein.

This movie is probably a teen romantic drama version of the hilarious School of Rock. The movie towards the end is just melodramatic and extremely predictable.The movie got a higher rating basically for the soundtrack associated with the movie. Not much of acting can be expected with the actors. Considering the normal teen movies this is way better than them.

It is a tolerable teen movie that covers all the different flavors of cheese. It does play out exactly how you think it will but so does every movie like this. It does not stand out from the crowd which is ultimately the films downfall. It has quite possibly the two worst lead actresses in acting history and Kudrow was the notable star to save it. Oh and David Bowie makes an appearance so the film gets props for that. It could have been better but alas it was not.

İçeriğinde bol bol müzik ve müzisyen barındıran tam anlamıyla gençlik filmi. Genelde bu tip filmlerin aksine müzikler çok başarılı, iki Disney kızının solistliklerine laf yok zaten ama özellikle bateriste dikkat derim, çok iyi. Sadece onun için bu film izlenir o derece iyi. Konu klasik gençlik filmi işte ama bol müzik var ayrıca David Bowie var daha ne olsun? Nefis film.

Has Cagan made anything except college/high school comedies? Don't care either cause he's fine at it. Undergrads season 2 when?

Not the HSM-with-guitars the advertising would have you believe. This is more a teen version of School of Rock. It's also a teen rom-com, with all that that entails. But unlike most genre films, it has 3 very likeable leads and a nice line in offbeat humour. There are musical numbers, but they tend to be a lot better than the usual fare. Hudgens' vocal performances are a weak point. Stage school can only do so much when you don't have a natural singing voice, but on the whole it's fun.

Here's another: Coming-of-age stories about rock-loving adolescents--from Footloose to Almost Famous--usually highlight rock 'n' roll's rebellious roots. Not this one. Aside from their already mentioned lack of discernment, these protagonists are decent, mature kids packing moral compasses. And restraint is just part of the picture. Bandslam scores big points for making big points about forgiveness, cooperation, healthy diversity and refusing to be defined by our scars. (pluggedin.com)

Musical teen romance; like High Fidelity for kids. Despite hefty doses of cheese and predictability the likeable young cast made it ok.

Pretty good performances from the young cast, Bandslam is worth aiming for if you want to see teens playing instruments.

Bandslam is a watchable, family-friendly experience that will actually be watchable for most of the adults as well. Or, it will be unless you hate musical numbers in films, because there are a few here. At the very least, it has likable -- albeit shallow -- characters and some intelligent dialogue. Oh, and there's also a David Bowie cameo. If nothing else, you might giggle with glee when that happens.

bulundugu okulda yabancilik çeken will burton, yeni gittigi okulda yapilan festival çalismalarindan haberdar olur. bir rock grubunun menajerligini yapar. grup gün geçtikçe daha iyi bir performans sergiler ve yarismanin favorisi olma yolunda ilerler. bu arada hesapta olmayan isler olcakatir. güzel bir genclik komedisi. pek mustehcenlik yok.

The barely hyped Bandslam must settle for simply being the best American movie this summer.

"I Can't Go On, I'll Go On is the name of the bubblegum rock group at the center of Bandslam, as well as a useful mantra for any moviegoer struggling to make it all the way through this depressingly phony approximation of a teen tragicomedy." - Ryan Stewart

A little cheesy, but it's a teen drama, so that's to be expected. Well written (in spite of the formula it's based on), well directed and the actors were perfect for this type of movie. Plus the soundtrack fit perfectly. I liked it, I just couldn't help it; it made me feel happy.

Despite the appearance of being some kind of School of Rock/High School Musical/Camp Rock hybrid/clone, Bandslam is, in fact, something unique and affecting...and an enigma of sorts. The two lead girls are two of the coolest/most idealistic high school girls ever (and Hudgens is severely miscast)...and yet there is a real genuineness throughout, and that is its most winning quality. A rare and excellent FAMILY (not "kid" not "teen") movie.t, with believa

It's certainly not perfect and the second half of the film becomes a touch too melodramatic and predictable. But as a whole, this teen drama is surprisingly good. The dialogue is actually witty and strewn with enough humor to make it rise above its familiar plot. We need more teen films like this. But sadly, it didn't get much attention and had a poor box office showing. So that means we're getting more of those dumb teen dramas.

A great surprise! This is not your regular dumb teen movie. It focuses more on Will and his struggle to fit in than on the Bandslam competition. So the title is a bad one (it *should* have been "Rock On, Will") and, as a result of bad marketing, this movie did not get a large audience, which is a shame. If you're afraid this is just another Disney teen movie, fear not: this is great.
