Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

imdb_rater Yes, the movie treats things like stealing and drugs too lighthearted. Nothing the girls do has any severe consequence on them or others. But this movie doesn't even attempt to have depth. It's just about leaning back, enjoying some good music and Liam Neeson's Irish accent. I enjoyed watching it more than I would have expected from IMDb's average rating, and I got to like all of the main characters. After all, the quality of this movie is still much higher than more recent teenage comedies in the likes of American Pie which only make jokes about sex or disgusting things. It's not the kind of movie I would watch many times, but I recommend everyone to watch it once who likes to see a teenage comedy without American Pie humour.

edwagreen The best part of this awful film is when the ending credits are rolling and you hear the band playing and singing the title song.Trouble is that the film is anything but good. 4 teenage girls and a young guy embark on a summer of fun when they land a job playing as a band at a beach resort. One girl is an orphan, but nothing is said about the other teens' parents. They just hop in a van and go.We have what could fall into a beach blanket movie with singing,gaiety, an attempted suicide and a romance between Justine Bateman and Liam Neeson, a widowed song writer who shall we say has a lot on his mind.Of course, Neeson likes the band so much that he wants them to defer school and go rock in Europe.I added the extra 1/2 star since the film did end correctly, that is, that school comes first. Unfortunately, this film comes in last.

omolara-doyle I first watched it in 89 when I was a preteen. Just saw it again on DVD and still think it's pretty awesome. DVD picture quality isn't the greatest but all that teen angst is awesome and Justine Bateman still rocks. Was a bit surprised to see Julia Roberts who I had no recollection of but Liam Neeson is probably the reason I ended up living in Europe. That accent!!I'd definitely recommend it if you just want to kick back, relax. Watch some big 80s hair and funny girl band stuff. The other cast members are pretty cool too although not as memorable. Couldn't get over Julia Roberts in this movie dressed similarly to the way she was dressed in Pretty Woman.I loved it and definitely recommend it for feel good flash backs.

miguelita68 Justine Bateman, Julia Roberts and Liam Neeson star in this undemanding, feel-good frolic about an (almost) all-girl rock band 'Mystery' band and their adventures and heartbreak. Really enjoyable - but not critically brilliant. Perfect for a night of escapism with the girls! And jolly soundtrack. If you liked 'Mystic Pizza' you'll love 'Satisfaction'! Bateman's character Jennie Lee fronts a rock band, playing lots of well-known cover versions, including the rolling stones song of the film's title... They spend a summer by the sea, playing at a club owned by Liam Neeson's songwriter-fallen-on-hard-times. Bateman and Neeson's characters get briefly romantically entwined and Julia Roberts' character is looking for a man with some money! Harmless sex'n'drugs'n'rock'n'roll adventure (with a bit of romance). There's not much to it, but if you were young in the eighties, it'll make you smile.
