Product Description

A talented and diverse actress brimming with wild sexuality, Gina Gershon ("Bound," "Showgirls") could easily step into the role of a famous rock star. So when that opportunity came about in the acclaimed new film, "Prey for Rock and Roll," Gershon realized that the best way to promote her movie would be to actually get up on stage in front of an audience, armed only with a microphone, a guitar, and a backing band.

Like a madcap cross between "Making the Band" and "Project Greenlight," IFC's hip, new series offers a riveting glimpse into a world most of us only dream about, as Gershon and indie rockers Girls Against Boys go on an erratic, multi-city tour across the U.S. With only two weeks to rehearse, and music critics waiting to tear apart the latest actor-turned-musician, will the band succeed or get laughed out of their venues?

From breast-baring fans to concert bomb threats, pre-show tequila shots and leather parades, IFC offers a backstage pass to all the madness in these six exciting episodes, featuring appearances by friends Lenny Kravitz and actress Drea de Matteo ("The Sopranos"). Prepare to get ROCKED WITH GINA GERSHON!

4.0 out of 5 stars Gina Rocks!, August 9, 2004

By	BM "filmboy" (Augusta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

Okay I've been a huge Gina Gershon fan for years (despite some stinkers like Showgirls) so when I saw this in the video store I had to pick it up. I had seen Prey for Rock and Roll, and was underwhelmed. I was however impressed with Gina's singing. Not for most people, but she was brave to go on tour after only being with the band for two weeks. The six episodes take us inside Gina's life as she prepares for her shows. From the first episode I was hooked. Gina has the kind of personality that you just can't help but love. She is not a pretentious Hollywood actress in anyway. She "keeps it real." Often humorous, as when we get a glimpse of her fans...who are very interesting to say the least. Gina really put her heart and soul into this movie but there are many setbacks. She doesn't let that stop her from having fun and singing her ass off.We meet some of her friends along the way (Lenny Kravitz,Chris Rock, etc.)and also get to know her band. Especially funny is the episode in San Francisco, where we see why one member of her band calls her LL Cool G (Lesbians Love Cool Gina). So check it out...you wont be disappointed...esp. if you love Ms. Gershon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocked Really Does Rock, August 1, 2004

By	C. Mitchell "nerdcore elitist" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the pleasure of watching all six episodes when they originally aired on IFC. It's a rare and enjoyable glimpse at Gina Gershon's real personality, and it will certainly keep you glued to your television. For an actress who is often cast in such dramatic roles, Gershon has wonderful comedic instinct. It shows the ups and downs of being on the road and trying to promote an independent film.

I've heard a lot of negative comments regarding the music and her singing. Keep in mind that most of the songs are from the movie Prey for Rock & Roll and were written by Cheri Lovedog. Sure, Gershon isn't the best singer in the world, but she's no worse than half the "professionals" there are stuck at the top of the pop charts at any given moment. Bottom line, Gershon is intelligent, sexy, and funnier than you could have ever imagined...you won't be disappointed with this dvd.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great movie... Gina is great., November 10, 2004

By	[SS]Shooter "Hired Gun." (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

Look, I WAS NOT a Gina Gershon fan. I hardly knew who she was. I kind of watched this series on IFC just to see how bad it sucked. BUT it didn't suck. It rocked. Gina is a great singer, her band is great, she's super cool and super sexy.

After watching this, I found that I AM now a big Gina fan. Actually, I wish she'd come back on a another music tour, as I would go see her for sure.

She may be a B-movie actress, but she's an A rock star, especially given all the untalented "star" women in pop and rock.

Go Gina! Keep up the good work!
