pilgrim70 This should be one of the "must-see" films of the year. It probably won't be because it doesn't feature any so-called 'stars' of the movie world but don't let that put you off going to see it. A few years ago, Welsh rockers The Alarm fooled the rock industry when they asked a group of youngsters to appear in the video for their new single. The single charted and the real band behind the song revealed the scam to a stunned industry. This is the inspiration behind this film. It's fun, it's fast, it's laugh out loud funny in places - and it features the music of one of the best songwriters (Mike Peters) and best bands (The Alarm). The language is a bit 'choice' in places but it doesn't take itself seriously...and neither should you! It deserves a wide audience. And buy the soundtrack as well!
sara-diana I was lucky enough to see both the uncut version of the film and the finished product at the Welsh Premier in Wrexham. I must say how proud I am to be from North Wales which is where most of the filming took place, indeed the ending scene takes place in Rhuddlan Castle at a rock gig I attended.This film is a proper British film based on a true story of what happened to Mike Peters of The Alarm and front man for Big Country in 2004. Light hearted, funny, entertaining, a real feel good film and one of those films you will want to buy so that you can watch it again.Some great actors in the film and good music too. Definitely a hit in my eyes.
David West As a lifelong fan and supporter of the man and band that this film is loosely based upon, I managed to catch about 45 minutes or so of this film at 'The Gathering' event in 2012 (others who were there will know what happened next!!! only to say it will go down in folklore!!!!!) I was absolutely captivated and entertained by the film. A second showing has been granted for this years 'Gathering' event and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the second half!!! If you like and enjoy British movies, with a proper and entertaining story (which did actually happen in 2004), then this film is for you. The performances by the strong cast were great, and there even was a surprise cameo from Mike Peters himself!!! Go enjoy. 'FREE ROCK & ROLL'
panchita_jones I recently watched this film at the Newport Beach Film Festival. It is such a fun story with great music and acting. A lot of fresh new faces. I love when the underdog triumphs, as in this story. I'm sure there are a lot of guys out there like this main character: searching for recognition and acknowledgment in an industry obsessed with youth.You don't have to love punk music to love this movie. I was surprised to learn from the director, writers and producer at the Q&A afterward that this was all based on a true story about The Alarm and Mike Peters. It wasn't even over yet and I wanted to watch it again!I hope this film has a wider distribution in the United States. I'm not sure if or when there is a general release date.
