Kaiser, the lead singer of a former rock group won't put up with approaching old age and decides to call his old band members together. Kaiser's ambition is to return to the big stage with his buddies. Despite the initial resistance of other fellows, Kaiser will be successful, at least partly so. It is a fast-paced comedy full of humor and consolation, telling the story about people who despite all obstacles strive for their goal.
'Kormoranid' tries to be clever music film about legendary rock band, but it fails in so many levels. Too much banal fart jokes and too few subtle moments. Also the film tries to emulate too much from worn out Hollywood formula - unlikable underdog character finally achieving his goals and finding redemption. The film had good opportunity to satirize music industry, but it failed with focusing mainly tasteless humor and leaving out everything that could tickle a intelligence a bit. There are some moments, and it has cool soundtrack (mostly written by Estonian rock band Kolumbus Kris), but it fails to deliver coherent story with likable characters and smart jokes. Silly film that can be entertaining enough when you are able to shut down your brain.
