| WaffleMovies.comWillie WaffleSurprisingly good movie. One of the few rock stars to get it right. |
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonAs a director, Mellencamp produces some of the local color of his hometown, but never really establishes a thoroughgoing sense of place...as an actor, he's unmannered, even true, but a little dull. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMY Favorite movie to watch when I am home sick. |
| User ReviewAllyson JDefinitely worth watching. The soundtrack is great and there are some lines you will find yourself quoting (humorously). |
| User ReviewJoe .Actors trying their hand at singing. Singers trying their hand at acting. This one actually easn't half bad. (much better than Don Johnson's "Heartbeat" album, lol) |
| User ReviewGreg WVery dull, Mellencamp should stick to his day job. |
