Bandslam opens with potential. We meet angsty broody teen Will Burton and are transported to his pathetic world of awkwardness, shit name dropping musical conversation, and hot mum Lisa Kudrow. But this potential is quickly ruined by V-hudge. Playing it coy, she introduces herself to Will by writing her name on a piece of paper like this "Sa5m" to then proclaim "the 5 is silent". But the film goes to places where previous tween-flick idols such as Frankie Muniz and Amanda Bynes have never been before. Driving Under the Influence, sociopathic methods of getting what you want, and David Bowie all feature heavily in this film, along with an surprisingly shit soundtrack. I was expecting more of a HSM vibe with dancing and pop-rock tunes that stick into your skull like chewing gum to pavement, but no! It was like shit soft-ska elevator music that had no spice. So I'm gicing this film 2 and a half DUI's, as I much preferred the 1950's original starring me and Audrey Hepburn.
