JBJ was having a bit of a hiatus from the band whilst doing some solo work and acting. There were some awful crowbar moments where lines from songs were used as lines in the script (the worst of which is "It's like God closed his eyes and the world got mean" from August 7, 4.15).
Fortunately the cast is good enough to make it watchable, but you can't help but think that this was just JBJ being a bit too big for his boots.
really good film, Jon bon jovi plays the role excellently, very moving and a few great one liners
Whoever told Bon Jovi he could act should be sent to Siberia. That is all.
