Alicia I love this movie so much

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

James Edmonds I have just re-watched " A Young Persons Guide To Becoming A Rock Star", as I have finally converted my VHS to DVDs. I found it to be even more funny than the first time I saw it all those years ago, when it first aired on Channel 4 back in 1998. A lot of the humour is very obvious, with a slightly satirical, but realistic look at how a rock band gets to the top in the UK music business, with ups and downs along the way. The pace over the 6 episodes is perfect, and a continual love story between Jez and Fiona in the background, helps the plot progress.It helps that I actually like this style of music, which was quite prominent during the Nineties. Think Nirvana meets Oasis meets Pet Shop Boys? The acting for the most part is very good, and I love the cameo appearances by the music/entertainment celebrities. On the whole, an entertaining watch!

Pet Piranha "The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star" follows the ups and downs of making it in the music industry. A young band from Glasgow stumble across talent, get good and become famous by mistake. The band consist of: Joe, Fiona, Jez, Psycho and Wullie, the weirdest mix you have ever seen! I have "The Young Person's Guide to Becoming a Rock Star" on VHS and i never get sick of watching it. I would strongly recommend that you watch it. It is well worth it and each time you watch it, it will have you in hysterics. You never get sick of the ridiculous antics that the band pull! Excellent!!!

bacchae2 Watch this for no other reason than the glorious Simone Lahbib. A superb actress who, amazingly after this fun bit of fluff, went on to great acclaim and notoriety as the indomitable Helen Stewart on "Bad Girls," a landmark series and performance. Lahbib has the kind of smoldering sensual self-awareness and knowledge of just what effect it has on you as those great English actresses Francesca Annis or Helen Mirren, and she possesses the authority of the latter as well. (Which is saying a lot, since she's one of the best ever.) She should've broken out into a major career after BG, but seems stuck in TV genre cop/det/law shows. Alas. But, damn, I'd watch her in anything.

mother-ursa This was sent to me by a friend who I met through other channels. She told me that when she first saw it, it made her laugh and that it was right up my alley. Well, she was right! I have not laughed so hard in some time!! I almost got sick and had to pause the film to move around a bit before finishing it! This is one of the jewels that creeps out and snaps you up before you can blink... providing you have a wicked sense of humor and aren't in it for Gerry Butler only. Though I have to say... to see the man unhinged and screeching was hilarious in and of itself. Nice work Big Man! So... no spoilers... no input other than if you need a laugh A HUGE GUT WRENCHING laugh, then check this one out.ENJOY!
