Trivia:

The car chase in the video-game Kyle plays at the beginning ends the same way as the actual car chase at the end of the movie.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When KG and JB are driving, especially during the chase scene, it is very obvious that the car is on a trailer and being towed and not actually being driven. When the background shows that the car is pulling over to the curb, or turning, the wheel stays straight and does not rotate.

Quotes:

[first lines]
JB: Ready, Kage?
KG: Ready.
JB: Let's do this. Fatty.

so entertaining to watch!!!!

This movie was amazing!!!! From beginning to end, the movie is packed with fun, laughs, music, enjoyable rock music, hot chicks, more music, action, drama, and the f-bomb.

Although some scenes are entirely bizarre and unfitting, they were fun to watch and enjoyable. All in all this movie left you feeling great and happy. Especially those that love rock music.

The soundtrack is great, the laughs are plentiful, and the storyline is simple, entertaining, yet complex. You have to see this movie if you love rock music!

Overall Vote: 10 out of 10!
