It's nothing new or special if you have seen the Def Lepperd 'Behind the Music' episode, and I found some of the stuff-lip synching, concert set, etc-to be iffy-but otherwise, it's fine. The casting, acting, etc is good. The guys do look like Def Lepperd pretty much. You are hard pressed to get the bass player more than a cameo appearence, and that's not fair, he's been there since day one; and yeah predictably enough the drummer and doomed guitar player Clark are the ones the script centers in on. It's cliched stuff too.
But-the music is good, the band was good and important in their day, for a TV flick of the week it's alright. Beats the heck outta any 'Black Flag' or 'Ramones' bio either-it's about a group that actually sold records, filled up stadiums and had hits.
