SImply Great

I have to admit when I first starting watching the film I thought this was going to be some "preachy film about disabled people" (once you figure out most of the members of the band or disabled). You know what, it really wasn't. The director doesn't tell you that the band is essentially disabled or learning impaired, so when you first start watching you sort of figure it out and there is 15 to 20 minutes wear your uncomfortable because your not sure where the film is going. Is it a) some sort of preachy disabled rights movie or b) going to make you cringe because of the public attitude on this band (like people will just pity them).

It's not like that. I was blown away by Michael the drummer - ironically the one who when you see him, looks mentally challenged (the other disabled members you really wouldn't be able to tell if you walked across the street). While Michael has issues, he is quite articulate and in my book an incredible person.

If you watch this and don't get anything from it - I don't think you have a soul and your not a music lover. Tell you what, I hope they come to the States cause I'll "stay out late" and watch them - and I'll have a beer with them. Especially Mike. Also, I really respect the two former support workers that are the bass and the guitar play and LOL - I can't remember there names but good blokes either way.

Check this out. I really have to say - the film really made me think. For the record, I'm not some dude who will call my friends and say "hey did you see this or this" but after seeing this - all my music lover friends, I told them they HAD to see this.
