BEFORE: This movie is nearly impossible to link to, since for two of its major stars, and I use the term loosely, this is their only major appearance in a feature film. But after trying for a long while, I found that Willem Dafoe from "American Dreamz" was in a film titled "Roadhouse 66" with an actor named Peter Van Norden, who plays "Casserole" in tonight's film. What the heck kind of name is Casserole?
THE PLOT: A pop-rock star tries to win the love of a woman he meets in a car accident.
AFTER: Boring, boring, boring. I cared not at all for the romance here - who cares if a rock star can or can't find love? He'll have many, many more tries at it - that's why you become a rock star in the first place! Doesn't he realize that the only reason he wants THIS woman over any other is because she's never heard of him? He runs away from all the women who chase after him through the streets of San Francisco, but he doesn't want them. Idiot.
His ex-lover, also his songwriting partner, is still part of his band. Why? Either he can get along with her or he can't, in which case he should cut her loose. So, she's a bit temperamental, or perhaps just mental - that's even more reason to get rid of her.
Also starring Rick Springfield, Patti Hansen, Albert Salmi, Bill Mumy
RATING: 3 out of 10 roadies
