Product Description

Unimpassioned look at the lives of struggling L.A. scene rock stars follows main character, Gwen (Jade Gordon), on her quest for the top. Working as an assistant to a film production designer (Ally Sheedy), she tries to steal her boy friend (Larry Klein) who is a music producer by offering sexual favors. The producer meanwhile is trying to orchestrate a comeback for a former glam band played by Michael Des Barres (of Power Station fame), John Taylor (from Duran Duran), and Martin Kemp (from Spandau Ballet). Rosanna Arquette plays the former movie star wife of the lead singer, who is fretting because she has just been offered the role as the mother of one of the new ingenues. Beverly D'Angelo also shows up as a millionairess who agrees to bankroll the group, but only if she gets a roll in the hay with the lead singer. All of the career problems, including drug proclivity, are represented in this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film, Where's the DVD?, May 10, 2005

By	Dorrie Wheeler - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a really great film from Alison Anders and I absolutely cannot believe the film is not available on DVD. Fans of Duran Duran should know that this is not a John Taylor only film, the film is supported by an amazing star studded ensemble cast. John Taylor does have a good role in the film, he plays an aging but hot rock star whose group was big once upon a time. His love interest in the film, Roseana Arquette is an actress who has a son that John questions the paternity of, although he and the boy grow close. Michael De Barres steals the show. He did a great job in his role as a well manicured, spoiled, egotistical older rocker. He loves the young girls and they think he is someone from their moms generation. Beverly De Angelo is in this film, as is a very thin Ally Sheedy who appears as a neurotic production designer. Everyone did a great job in this film. There are many characters and many storylines, more than I mentioned in my review. The only thing I didn't like about this film is the rather abrubt ending. I was waiting to see a few things resolved that didn't get tied up enough for me, but I think that the writer/director wanted to leave a few things to the imagination.
