Not bad...
ReplyDelete"Leary stars as “Johnny Rock,” lead singer of a legendary early 90s New
ReplyDeleteYork band called The Heathens. Known for living up to their name, the
band partied so long and so hard that even Keith Richards thought they
needed to slow things down. The Heathens were on the brink of becoming
famous for their kickass live shows and the release of their highly
anticipated first album. Until they broke up. The same day the album
dropped. Because lead guitarist Flash (John Corbett) found Johnny in bed
with his wife. So the band became legendary for all the wrong reasons -
like self-destructing sooner than any group in rock ‘n’ roll history.
25 years later the only thing bigger than Johnny’s ego is his prostate.
The drugs he really needs now aren't cocaine and marijuana - they're
Crestor, Cymbalta and Cialis. He's out of work, out of money and out of
show business options. That's when a massively talented young singer
named Gigi (Elizabeth Gillies) shows up - with a burning desire to be
famous, a throwback appreciation for The Heathens only album, and a
stack of cash big enough to bring the whole band back into the studio.
Only this time, SHE'S the lead singer and Johnny's just a behind the
scenes songwriter."

Judging from the trailer, it looks like Dennis Leary is playing the same character he did on Rescue Me. But rather than a screwed up firefighter who has problems with everyone in his life, this time he's a aging musician with problems with everyone in his life. Pass.
ReplyDeleteIt could be some good fun...
