Satisfaction... is it goofy? Yes. Dated? Definitely 80's. Light/Fluffy? Yes. Bad acting? I bet Julia Roberts would pay to have her scenes erased forever. All of these questions miss the point however!! The appropriate question about this movie should be, "Is it FUN?", and the answer is "Oh yeah!".

Like day time talk shows, comic books, and that old Poison album hiding in the back of your closet, this movie is a guilty pleasure to be enjoyed, but never admitted to! If you are in, or just really like rock bands, this movie is even better (almost inspirational). It's a fun romp with a young (mosly girl) band who land the ultimate gig at a summer beach resort. Music, mayhem, and rock band movie cliches ensue. The humor is funny.... the "drama" is even funnier (the lead guitarist breaks her drug addiction in one day, because the band tells her to!)! Be sure to look for Debbie Harry (Blondie), who turns in the movie's best acting performance in a five minute cameo. The soundtrack is strangely good (retro 80's), and the "band" in the movie actually performs on it! See the movie, and you will have no doubt that Justine Bateman sang her own vocals... which may or may not be a good thing!

If you've ever strummed an electric guitar, or just dreamed of rocking out and hitting the road with your friends, you must see this movie!!

What a cast of actors--Justine Bateman, Liam Neeson and Julia Roberts. The music is perfect and the story is pure fun. This movie was an unexpected pleasure and well worth watching more than once!

It is just an OK film until you realize that Liam Neeson (Michael Collins & Star Wars) and Julia Roberts (Pretty Woman) were engaged to be married during the making of this film, Britta Phillips was cartoon vocals for JEM and Justine Bateman was starting fresh from Family Ties. Filmed in Charleston, SC, it is full of great backdrops. The acting is weak at times and the story is predictable. Trini Alvarado gives a believable performance. Still, it is fun to watch how these actors have grown. Lots of fun for a Saturday afternoon viewing and a must for true fans of Julia Roberts.

SATISFACTION is the best movie in the universe!! The music hella rocks...and I love Billie (Britta Phillips ~JEM~)...she is such an awesome character!! I love the way she sang "Mr. Big Stuff" and "God Bless the Child." This movie is really fun and exciting to watch for people of all ages--especially rock 'n' roll fans!!

i am a big fan of the 80's movie even though most are a bit corny. And the same goes for this one at times but i love it. You get to see Julia Roberts and a younger Liam Neeson which is great. Also has a pretty good sound track and Justine Bateman does a good job of lip-syncing. Save when it looks as if she is gonna eat the mic. Over all is a good movie. Hope this review helped. Enjoy the movie.

This is a really underated movie. I have always listed it among my favorites because it is simply fun and well done. Great performances by stars Justine Bateman and Liam Niesen not to mention the supporting characters (including Julia Roberts and a cameo by Deborah Harry), but Britta Phillips steals the show as Billy. This film was the first place I was made aware of her vocal talents, but as it turns out she was also the singing voice of 80's cartoon idol Jem!. She later went on to play with a number of bands in the UK (Belltower) and NY (Luna). This film is really worthwile for the music (which is fun and amatuerish, most sung by Justine Bateman), the story (which is dramatic and comedic as necessary) and the cast (who are all give top rank performances).

This is an older movie, long before Julia was famous, yet you'll find her as vibrant as ever. Justine Bateman gives an awesome performance as a singer/band leader who falls for a stubborn Liem Neilson. All five members of the band face diversity and decisions during one summer of romance, beaches, music and drugs. The music is awesome, you'll find yourself singing along.

This is a group effort movie and not any one paticular actor stole the show.

I enjoyed watching this movie. Cool actors star in this like Liam Nielson, Justine Bateman, Julia Roberts, and Britta Phillips (she played the singing voice of the great 80s cartoon JEM). SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!

I saw this movie long ago. Actually, right after I first saw "Steel Magnolias". I wanted to see if Julia Roberts was for real. Well, she was, and still is. In my opinion, she is the premier actress in Hollywood. This movie has a great soundtrack. Trust me, if you watch the movie, the tunes are catchy. Check it out!

I have enjoyed this movie since it first came out. I'm from SC, near the Charleston beaches, and the fact that this was filmed on Isle of Palms just makes the whole movie even cooler. I went to the original Windjammer (where the band in the move played) before Hurricane Hugo took it out in 1989. They built a bigger and better Jammer, but the old one has never been forgotten. I got this movie for my dad's birthday. He just loves Julia Roberts.
