Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (53% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a box office loss held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved This Is Spinal Tap or Easy A, start here.
The mood
Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 38 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Josie, Melody and Val are three small-town girl musicians determined to take their rock band out of their garage and straight to the top, while remaining true to their look, style and sound. They get a record deal which brings fame and fortune but soon realize they are pawns of two people who want to control the youth of America. They must clear their names, even if it means losing fame and fortune.
