Synopsis

The story of a young Sydney band trying to get a foothold in the competitive world of rock n' roll. After the band's first gig is a colossal failure, the lead singer takes it upon himself to go out and pursue the most successful rock manager in the country. Meanwhile, the other members of the band continue to deal with the kind of everyday life issues that can ultimately tear a band apart. It may be the dawn of a new millennium, but it's still a long way to the top if you want to rock n' roll.

Rich La Bonte (flatrich) Except for the sappy, everybody wins ending (and that is the only spoiler here), this wonderfully funny and often mildly psychotic film by Alex Proyas made my day. Anyone who has ever started a little band somewhere with dreams of glory, or even roadied, groupied or otherwise participated in such an effort, should see Garage Days because this one is for us, about us and sometimes so right on the mark that it is downright scary.As a former professional musician who started in garages just like the heroes of Mr. Proyas' film, I can testify that the insanity pictured here does indeed happen - always has and always will - in the rock 'n' roll universe. Garage Days is a gem and though it is basically a comedy, even fans of Proyas' Dark City will not be disappointed.The production, actors and effects are excellent - Maya Strange stole the film for me as Kate, but the rest of the cast were terrific too.Garage Days is currently playing on cable channels in the US, so catch it if you can!
dumbchildme come on people you have to give this movie a shot. and for all the little babies judging it so seriously are doing that, being too serious. its a lovable silly film set in sydney of a band trying to get there name out and live there fantasies of rockin hard. sure its Shakespeare and its not supposed to be. the cinematography fun not really unique but still it has not been done in a while and was not over done. the acting was not excellent and neither was the humor its one of those movies that keeps you smilling but never to often laughing out loud. most of the humor is in the native Aussie format so you have to pay attention to what they say and try to just understand their lingo to get a lot of the jokes. great sound track , good beginning middle and end . what more could you ask for .
mwane I thoroughly enjoyed this film, it is a good fun comedy and doesn't try to be something it's not. I would highly recommend this film, it has some great laughs in it and is a feel good movie. Not another cheesy comedy, but something a bit different. Nor is it another Hollywood cliché where everything always works out in the end. The end feature during the credits is a good finish to the film. One of those movies that you will probably enjoy more the second time around because of its light hearted nature, much like Zoolander in some ways the jokes although they aren't always the best written out there are delivered particularly well by the characters. So what are you waiting for?
Patrick Splinter I liked this movie. The plot is as old as the hills, only it didn't end the way I guessed (and I like that). Also there is a twist that I didn't see coming. The movie tells the story of a band that starts before their first gig. There are the usual inner-band romances going on and the kooky over weight manager/roadie tossed in for fun (see "Rock Star" or "Still Crazy"). The have to raise $1200 at one point (insert usual odd ways they do that here). There is the usual big concert at the end. Blah Blah Blah. BUT I liked this movie. Why? The ending was real, the sound track is great (I'm 41 what can I say), there were some twists to the plot I didn't see coming and the even though it's a tired old plot, it's a tired old plot for a reason: It's a good one. 7/10
