Delightful Rock 'n' Roll Romance

In Scotland, the successful American band The Make formed by the singer Adam (Luke Treadaway) and the keyboard player Tyko (Matthew Baynton) will participate at T in the Park Festival. When they meet the girls from the band The Dirty Pinks, Adam has an argument with the lead singer Morello (Natalia Tena). A preacher separates them and asks the two bands to pray together.

They are forced to spend the night together and his girlfriend Lake (Ruta Gedmintas) and her boyfriend Mark (Alastair Mackenzie) stay with them. But soon they feel that Adam and Morello are connected not only by the handcuffs.

"You Instead" is a delightful rock 'n' roll romance highly indicated for fans of music. The story has nice characters; a lead couple with perfect chemistry; and was filmed at the 2010 T in the Park Festival. Therefore the film entwines a real festival with adorable characters and people interacting with the cast. Luke and Natalia have musical experience and have composed two songs. In the end, "You Instead" is a predictable film that the viewer wishes that could have bis. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "Essa Noite Você é Minha" ("This Night You Are Mine")

Note: On 20 July 2016, I saw this film again.
