A dramatic rock and roll vehicle for Michael J. Fox. But, the show is stolen from a surprisingly phenomenal Joan Jett, whom holds her own alongisde the amazing Gena Rowlands. Watch for a cameo from a young Trent Reznor.

"Music is the ONLY thing that matters!" Ha! This movies great. Joan Jett is a hilarious actress and Michael J looks like a chick. That being said he's so adorable! Kind of a tear jerker.
