5.0 out of 5 stars Already one of my prized possessions, July 2, 2006

By	Brooke in Sactown - See all my reviews

This film is in a class all by itself. Women in rock are often unrecoginzed and unappreciated. This true story follows the lives of women who break the gender rules and give the men a run for their money. Strong, courageous, highly talented women who put together a one-of-a-kind sound storm the stage and the road with such intensity, you'll wish to God you had a chance to see them perform today. The mere existence of this footage is a gift. The way it's put together is an art. Whether you're a fan of women in rock or just a fan of great stories, I highly recommend this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice surprise!, May 1, 2006

By	Jennifer G "Dee Dee fan" (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

Saw this movie at the Hollywood Forever graveyard of all places. It was during an outdoor tribute screening. I was not aware of the band's music as I never heard their music before I had seen the movie, but a friend brought me and I must say that I was easily hooked. The songs are great and pretty catchy. The girls have a great attitude - and I loved their tattoos! It was sad watching the story unfold, I guess 'cause I felt like I just met them and didn't want to see her go. If you know the L.A. music scene at all you will recognize some of the people. Duff from Guns n' Roses is in the film, too - he produced one of their records. Vanilla Ice killed me. Ice gets major props for his honesty --I won't give away spoilers, that would be cheating. All in all, the film is a great mix of high art and high drama, with a whole lotta rock and roll. I'm trying to think of movies to compare it to but can't right now - which is a good thing. It's an original and it's real, which is nice for a change..

5.0 out of 5 stars This Movie ROCKS!!!, April 28, 2006

By	Zwarych 3 "a1lisa" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This documentary will make you want to quit your day job and become a rock star...even if you're a Physicist who only listens to Chopin. It's an intelligent, thoughtful, and insightful glimpse into a world that most of America knows little about. You're taken on a journey that will change the way you think about music, life, and living your "bliss." It's filled with the highs, lows and anticipation only found in true life.
