And curse the covering of songs, the plot and everything. Let's not forget that this is one of the few 80s movies where the characters are seem to be singing and not have the songs in the background. OK, the songs aren't 80s songs (well neither were the songs from Dirty Dancing, Fame, or Footloose), the vocals people say are terrible (urm can you guys sing yourself? And how can you take a swipe at Britta Phillips who took the lead in Mr. Big Stuff)...The plot is weak but so are the plots of Footloose and well Dirty Dancing. Love pairing? What's wrong with Nesson and Bateman? Everyone who criticises this movie seems to think they know it all and can direct movies or choose the right songs.

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.

This movie is fantastic. It features the Eighties' bad taste, bad ass Justine Bateman, the rest of Julia Roberts and horrible classic rock songs. I'm told I have to make this review 10 lines long so I'm going to write a bunch of words now. But I've already said what had to be said about this swell movie. It's fine. The reviewers who badmouthed it simply have messed up and hurtful priorities. That's got to be 10 lines. But I'm told it isn't. So I'm still writing words. How much do you really need to know about what people think about a movie? It's not that big of a commitment just to watch it and make up your own mind, for crying out loud. This has got to be 10 lines. Oh, thank god!
