And so recently I took my son to see an indie film. That film was “The Perfect Age of Rock & Roll”. This movie is my cousin Michael Jeremiah’s first speaking role. It was a small role and I was happy for him. But now my review: (jude mentally cracks knuckles).
This was a film about two high school buddies with talent and dreams of rock & roll success. Spyder, lead vocalist, and Eric Jensen (played by Jason Ritter) as lyricist and lead guitarist. Spyder steals his partners demo songs and finds fame as a solo artist. When Spyder’s second album is a flop he returns to his hometown of Oyster Bay, NY to reunite with Jensen and coerce him into making lyric magic all over again.
This is a formulistic pseudo road trip movie full of rock and roll clichés. Despite decent production quality and better than average performances this film lacks the climatic ending I had hoped for. It seemingly ends without a resolution that made any sense in how the story had been building up to.
