Full Plot Details

In 2004, has-been 80s punk rocker Johnny Jones makes a drunken comeback single with his old band Weapons of Happiness, after they meet up at a friend's funeral. He is sure the song, "Free Rock 'n' Roll" will be a hit, but in an industry obsessed with image, Johnny is viewed as irrelevant and over-the-hill by record company executives and DJs, who tell him he has the wrong demographic to be successful. Frustrated but determined, he decides to hire a group of photogenic, box-ticking, media-friendly teenagers to front a video for the song. He intends to swindle the music business into liking him, and come clean once the single is released. The youngsters mime to his music, contracts are signed and Free Rock 'n' Roll enters the UK singles chart. Unfortunately, the rest of the band want to be recognised for their part in this achievement. Following an argument between Johnny and band-mate Minto, the story is revealed to the press. As the media go into a frenzy, Johnny finds himself caught in the spotlight, fighting against ageism and inequality in the industry that rejected him.

Movie Reviews

Birmingham Mail - 6/10 by Graham YoungA curiosity piece which, on its own, will not be enough to spawn a punk revival.
HeyUGuys - 6/10 by Stefan PapeVinyl is a harmless bit of good fun, and although it's easy to pick holes, it tells a good story and remains under 90 minutes long.
The Dissolve - 5/10 by Nathan RabinThe filmmakers behind Our Vinyl Weighs A Ton benefit and suffer from an excess of fascinating subject material.
The List - 4/10 by Paul GallagherPeters' original prank made a valid point about the music industry's obsession with new artists, but Sugarman winds this story to a formulaic, feel good conclusion that feels more conforming than the punk spirit that inspired it.
User Review - 8/10 by David MOvertly fun, punches the teeth in of the current pop world of plastic artists that can become more famous for being famous than every being talent. The punk rock of today is nothing but a Pepsi generation interpretation of the happy energetic side of the music. This film promotes that aspect and shows it takes nothing but a good image and story to get you to the top of the interest charts. The relationship between the real singer and lipsync'r is great and the Viagra scene are noteworthy.
User Review - 8/10 by Ruben D Mwaited a long time for this true story to come to the big screen
User Review - 6/10 by David FHarmless enough comedy where ageing rockers recruit kids to mime their single for success in the charts. Nice if predictable.
User Review - 6/10 by Calum BIt was ok, but very cheaply made. Looks like it was filmed on a camcorder. Has its moments, but wasnt really impressed with the story line. It could have been implemented better, and shown in a different light. I Like Mike Peters, and Phil Daniels, and expected better, but hey ho, its a budget film, and they are not Hollywood superstars, so think channel 4 film with a not so big budget, and its like that.
User Review - 6/10 by Barry TThis was really rather good. A neat little story and well acted by all. It shows whats the music industry is really like. The younger cast are not as strong as the more established older cast
