This was a very cute movie. I have become a big fan of Gilmore Girls and I was looking for more of Lauren Grahams work. While she has been in some major motion pictures her roles often seemed small. In this movie she has a starring role and you can really see a great performance. Don't expect to see the same Loreli Gilmore. Her character in this is very different!

The story line is a cute little romantic comedy. While it's not some great 5 star movie it is very watchable and something I would share with family and friends.

The story is about Jessy (Lauren Graham) who comes home to see her father Jet James (Christopher Lloyd) who is in the hospital dying. His best friend and fellow musician Nehemiah Peoples (Roger Daltrey) is staying at his home (somewhat of an uncle for Jessy.) Jet a stereotypical rock star who has spent all his money. While trying to hide her fathers car from the repo man Jessy ends up meeting Bobby Moritz (Casper VanDien). They begin a relationship and Jessy believes that Bobby is a strugling poet. She becomes upset when she learns that Bobby is really the nasty collection agent that has been hounding her father.

I could not find this movie at my local video stores. For this price it was a bargain.

Moderately charming. Chasing Destiny is BY NO MEANS (maybe the worst movie ever made). With all of the bad movies that are allowed to be made, Chasing Destiny is a delightful excape from the norm. The cast alone is worth the purchase. Music icon THE WHO'S ROGER DALTRY-Nehemiah Peoples, DRAKE BELL-Walter (Nickelodeon's-The Amanda Show, Jerry Maguire, HBO's The Jack Bull), CASPER VAN DIEN-Bobby Moritz (Storm Troopers, Sleepy Hollow, Tarzan). CHRISTOPHER LLOYD-Jet James (Taxi, Back To The Future, My Favorite Martion), LAUREN GRAHAM-Jessee James (Gilmore Girls) and Music greats, Denny Lane, Spencer Davis and Carmine Appice. If you like music from the late 60's early 70's, this movie is a must.

I love this movie! I've watched it a couple of times now, and who'd have thought Roger Daltrey would turn out more sexy than Casper Van Dien! I just wish there had been more of the music. I played the ending over and over, listening to the songs. The love story was sweet, too.

IF you are a hopeless romantic then this movie is definetly
for you. If you are just looking for a laugh, some emotion,
and a good time, check it out! I, for one, fit into both categories hence the 5 stars...

Heartwarming love story, laugh, cry and enjoy an absolutely wonderful movie. One of the very best I have seen in years.

This is a good-quality feel-good movie with excellent production, direction and performances from everybody. It's somewhat conservative--it has no (visible) sex or violence--but it still managed to hold my interest. The best thing about it is the Burning Prairie Band playing at the end: Roger Daltrey, Drake Bell, Carmine Appice, Kelly Keeling and Denny Laine. They sound great.

I'd recommend this for any of the gals--including young ones. It's interesting, unoffensive, and a great opportunity to watch some real musicians at work. The guys will like the guitar work there at the end.

Wonderful cast and great story. Features original music performed by members of the Who, Wings, Vanilla Fudge. Not to be missed by fans of heart-felt contemporary love stories. Lauren Graham dazzling in her first feature film leading lady role as the feisty Jesse James. Casper Van Dien sets aside his action hero personna for a romantic role as a man in love who has a big problem. One of Roger Daltrey's finest on camera performances as a broken down bass player and buddy of Christopher Lloyd's Woodstock-era rock star.
Check it out.

Actually loved this film. It's a heartfelt romantic comedy with Lauren Graham at her best. Casper VanDien is a talent as well. Loved this film

I loved this movie I thought it was so cute and I enjoyed from beginning to end.

This is a great movie with Lauren Graham. Lauren has a leading part in this movie and it is just a really nice "feel good" movie. This movie shows Lauren's great acting abilities.
