It was a great twist on the rock n roll road movie. But the poor writing and directing doomed an otherwise promising movie.
The main actors did great with what they had, but it was clear they were held back by the script. The bit parts were for some reason given to non-actors and they stuck out like a sore thumb.
The "real rock club" scene was melodramatic nonsense based on a caricature of what the writer/director must have hear rock clubs were like. It seems apparent that he's never been to one.
The band drama at the end (no spoilers) was painfully forced and out of character. It just filled the "something bad happens here" screenplay worksheet that the writer seems to have been using.
