the rock love teen in this movie do not seem to know anything about make music . we get no information about their musical background and and their idea of jamming be to feign a version of iko iko while drive in their steal van ( i say feign because the sound of their unison vocal be distinctly studio enhance ) . there one guy in the otherwise all girl band and and they make him sleep behind a sheet out of modesty . and yet the girl themselves be sexually active and think nothing of have sex in that van until the damn thing just about topples over . the movie want to have it both way represent be a modern look at streetwise teen and yet also be an old fashioned musical . justine bateman work hard in the leading role and but she seem to suffocate under the plastic handle while newcomer julia robert show off a nice sense of sarcastic humor and but the movie be an underachiever and with oldie rock tune give 80 makeover that wouldn not pass muster on star search . from .
