VERY DIFFERENT REVIEW
I had an entirely different experience than all the other reviewers did for this movie. I thought it was possibly one of the worst movies I ever sat through...and I absolutely loved it. For some reason I think it very funny to see actors scraping around for cash doing terrible movies. The music WILL make you tap your toe...for some god-awful reason, and you will become interested in the charachters, but only because you'd like to see them fail. I love movies like this. Another fine example of this type of movie is Whacked with Carmen Electra and Judge Reinhold.

I want this DVD for my collection.
A delightfully entertaining movie of two cultures and two generations coming together and learning about life from each other. Previously catching only bits and pieces of this movie until I overheard the music, now I have watched it in full four times, and have not grown tired of it yet. I love watching the band members' mischievious antics, and Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright play the perfect aristocratic couple, but it is the music that makes it complete. If there is ever a CD made, I want it!

Ouch
I gave this movie 2 stars only because Joan Plowright ("Enchanted April", "I Love You to Death") and Martin Clunes ("Shakespeare in Love", "Saving Grace" and the voice of Kipper) are in it. Otherwise, this script bit, plain and simple. In "Rock My World" (orginally titled "Global Heresy")Plowright and Peter O'Toole play Lord and Lady Foxley, who have run short of dosh and need to pump some fundage into their mansion. They decide to rent out the mansion to an American rock band that wants some seclusion to work on their next album. Seems their bass player disappeared on the edge of a waterfront, his ragged clothes strewn about, and no one knows where he is. So they hire a new bass player (Silverstone) who infuses the band with different tones and ideas. Since the Foxley's cook and butler have failed to show, they assume the postions in the form of "Margaret" and "Benson", waiting on the kids hand and foot. Cultures and generations collide at first, but both learn to appreciate and respect the other (awww!). Everything is going smoothly, until the formerly "lost" bass player surfaces, admitting that his "disapperance" was all a publicity stunt.

This movie could have been okay (obvious plot aside) were it not for the horrible script and the high school-like performance of it's actors. Lochlyn Munro, who has done pretty well in such flicks as "Unforgiven" and "The Keeper" delivers his lines in such an inexperienced manner, one would think this was his debut movie. As for Silverstone, she just can't seem to catch a break. It seems her ultimate character was Cher in "Clueless", because every movie I've seen her in since convinces me that she's just not a very good actress. I also have a problem watching these youngsters encourage the older folks to pop a little white "Vitamin E" tab, their hip, funky slang for Ecstasy. Teenagers who down E for the first time can die from the stuff, and most people in their 70's suffer from high blood pressure, heart problems, and other stroke-inducing maladies. Yet, the Foxley's can pop some E tabs and only come out the other end with a night of hot sex? Lord Foxley asks the departing band at the end, "Where might one buy some of those vitamin E pills?". Nice. Sir Peter O'Toole is advocating drug use on film. So much for all those public service announcements. But I digress...drug scenes aside, this movie is not worth your money. If you happen to catch it on cable, so be it. Don't say I didn't warn you.
