[Despite] a rousing jam with elder blues icons [and] Zegers' showy role. . .story feels like a studied period recreation for the History Channel.

Some grace notes and riffs ring true, but mainly it plays like a familiar tune on a broken record.

The director manages to instill every moment on the road with a sense of shrill conventionality.

Rating: F --
Cliche-ridden and ineptly made...a period piece that would have been moldy even twenty years ago.

belongs in the VH1 vault, never to be heard of again.

Unfortunately, the unconvincing fictional storyline Rosenbaum weaves around this solid musical base hits every meller cliche in the "self-destructive rock star" playbook.

You'd be better off renting "Eddie and the Cruisers" (1983) than slogging through this latest, far more dire recycling of the same rock clichés.

Those who go looking for tragic relevance in Scott Rosenbaum's debut indie won't find much to grasp onto.

Product Description:
An egocentric rock star retreats to his hometown to recover from the humiliation of a major career misstep, and begins to reassess his priorities after reconnecting with the childhood friend who helped launch him to stardom. Spyder's (Kevin Zegers) first album was an unqualified hit. But when his follow-up bombs with fans and critics alike, he decides to go back to the place where it all began. Once there, the humiliated rocker quickly reconnects with his former best friend and songwriting partner, Eric (Jason Ritter), who now teaches music to middle school students. Later, as the two former friends begin some serious soul searching, they are given a second chance to reclaim their rightful place at the top of the charts. In order to do so, however, they must get to L.A. and lay down some hot new tracks in just two weeks. Piling into a massive RV with their feisty manager, Rose (Taryn Manning), and a rock legend August West (Peter Fonda) at the wheel, Spyder, Eric, and their band begin to make preparations a comeback that will make rock 'n' roll history.
