With almost no lasting buzz and a box office loss, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and fans of deadpan, fly-on-the-wall comedy, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shot like a documentary, played completely straight.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Breezy, at 1 hr 33 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Will, Kirby, and Danny are the hottest new sensation in Mormon pop music! Will is an aerobics instructor, Danny is a student of eastern philosophy, and Kirby is a scrapbooking specialist. Together, they make up the band "Everclean" and they have taken the Mormon boy band scene by storm.
