I'm doing a theme within a theme and I don't think I've ever picked any of these movies before for previous themes.
I
haven't seen this in like 20 years but I remember liking it. The gist
is Wahlberg plays a guy playing in a tribute band when he gets scouted
to replace the lead of a popular metal band and he now has to navigate
his life and romantic relationship through his new rock star status. The
whole rock star thing with Wahlberg playing a guy in one of those 90s long stringy hair rock
band was fun and funny.
Music and Lyrics (2007)
Hugh
Grant plays a man famous for being in a popular Wham-like band in the
80s, who is now a songwriter and has been paired with a lyricist to
write a hit song for a pop princess. I don't really care much for the
romance aspect of the story, but I thought the whole ex-80s pop star
thing as well as them having to write for a Britney-like teen
star was a lot of fun.
Beyond the Lights (2014)
I
don't remember much of the romance aspect, but I think it was ok. What I
did like was the scenes of Gugu Mbatha-Raw being this pop star
character and the story of her buckling under the pressure. Minnie
Driver also plays the character's rather young mother who is the momager and
has a lot of control over her life/career...both of the actors were
great on screen together.

I honestly think Rock Star is pretty underrated.
ReplyDeleteI know right. I remember when I saw it, I thought, how come no one told me this was fun.
DeleteI haven’t seen any of your picks this week. This one was kind of hard for me. I couldn’t even find 3 movies I liked. Lol
ReplyDeleteYou should watch Beyond the Lights, it is a well reviewed movie.
DeleteI have not seen any of your pics but i may want to see Music & Lyrics even if it seems predictable.
ReplyDeleteIt is fun, and the song the characters eventually write is quite catchy.
DeleteWe match with Music & Lyrics - even though I still haven't actually seen the film 😅
