I've never wanted to buy a movie soundtrack before but this one I'd get in a heartbeat. Damn those were some great tunes!

I liked the film, very believable plot and well acted by Kalkbrenner. Given that he's not a professional actor I thought he did a great job. Very cool to see how excited he was for this screening - happily chatting with people, posing for pics and moving all around the cinema. We sat at the back and he was standing behind us for most of the screening.

I wish this hadn't conflicted with one of my TIFF selections - looking forward to renting it on DVD eventually!

Some great (yet novelty) club scenes + humourous drug/sketch moments unfortunately didn't make up for the jumbo sized holes left in the plotline. The last hour in particular unraveled in like 5 different (in cohesive) directions. To be fair I think my movie standards are too high these days, I was hoping for something with a bit more depth a la "Trainspotting", instead I got "It's All Gone Pete Tong" set in a German psychiatric ward.

The tunes in the movie were fucking awesome, and I was super (uber?) impressed with the sound system in that theatre.

Platform is awesome for doing something like this, bravo!

Good movie, nothing extrodinary, kinda knew what was going to happen all along, it's just nice to see a movie that's well made about something I really like. No real negative comments to make, I'd recommend it to people, and I'd def buy it when it comes out on DVD

Gawd, the scene where he trashes his record label producers office

Really liked it, despite it not being very original. Acting was great and the tunes made it more enjoyable. Could have done without a few scenes, but with foreign films they're expected.

Hearing Gebr�nn Gebr�nn in one of the final scenes made me smile. Sickkkkkk.

hahaha, I went to the afterparty aswell... didnt have as great of an experience, due to the fact that I didnt know where the party was and I was hanging out in the lounge on the street level for about an hour wondering where the hell everyone was... I was actually waiting for the streetcar for about 15 mins to go home and then I noticed how there was like 30 people outside smoking... but there was never more than like 10 people in that lounge at a time so I realised that something didnt make sense. So I went back over to the place and read the sign and it said 'lounge - 2 DJs... and then Underground - Paul K, Jamie Kidd, Greg Gow, etc.' so I asked then where the undergound was and they are like go down the hall and take a right, so I was like WTF maybe there is actually a sweet party going on here... so I went down there and sure enough there was a sweet party going on, too bad it was already like 2.30 when I got down there and I just caught the end of the Paul K dude's set, Jamie Kidd was playing some sweet tunes aswell but I couldnt stay too much longer since I was so tired since I had already been at that place for a few hours (in that dead lounge on the main level)

I enjoyed the movie ... and like others have mentioned already the soundtrack was pretty wicked!!!

Posted by junkie_vince on Sep-09-2008 00:09:

it was ok.. nothing great

Posted by slingshot on Sep-09-2008 00:10:

how was the crowd at the movie? a lot of familiar party folk or what?

Posted by Vanos on Sep-09-2008 00:22:

the movie was cheese but not awful and the soundtrack was pretty bad. The only one good song was when he was dancing in his hospital room

Posted by psyrel on Sep-09-2008 00:51:

So the soundtrack is being released on Bpitch! Yay!

Sadly yes...

Despite the predictable plot I found the movie pretty entertaining!! The music was awesome. Things I could've done without: sore eyes from straining to read blurry subtitles and voices of kids chatting in the theatre ....(I realize that the movie was 'all ages' but seriously.... )

Posted by rabbitjoker on Sep-09-2008 19:20:

I thought the film was entertaining. The tunes were great, the story had you rooting for the lead - overall I'm glad I went.

Posted by rabbitjoker on Sep-09-2008 19:20:

Der film ist gut, ja!

Posted by psyrel on Sep-09-2008 22:07:
