After hearing several interviews of stars and creators and sampling of songs on my local NPR (National Public Radio) over a few months, I was looking forward to seeing this movie and enjoying the parodying of the singing and personalities of Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and others.
Then I got the DVD from my library this weekend.
Unfortunately, all the gratuitous sick humor, nudity, drug use, and violence, and minimal good singing ruined it for me and my wife. I realize that this was supposed to represent the depravity that Elvis and other rock stars have sunk to -- but gee whiz.
Call me somewhat older than the supposed target audience of these Apatow comedies which seems to favor raunchiness and sexual innuendo rather than on true creativity, good acting, and good stories.
