| | Would make a great parody | El Groggo 02/17/2007 | | This movie is so dreadful that it's hypnotic. I kept watching it because I really thought it HAD to be a parody of sexual mores in the '90s. But apparently this guy (Schaeffer) is serious. If this movie was even sexy, I could forgive it. Nah. The 'writing' (you should excuse the expression) is so embarrassing that I began to appreciate my 10-year-old daughter's attempts at idyllic poetry. I kept wondering: how this guy even got this film made, who financed it, and why NO ONE, apparently, told him how awful and ridiculously unbelievable it was. There are tremendous talents out there who just can't get a break, and this DRECK (probably too good a word for it) passes the test. Don't get it. |

Up-and-coming rock star T.J. (James Marshall) has the jolt of a lifetime: he loses both his hands when drunken hoodlums attack him. Unable to deal with his fate, he turns his back on family and girlfriend and becomes a self-pitying, drunken bum. But things change when he meets Anamika (Christina Applegate), who introduces him to a variety of friends who start him on the road to recovery. One of the friends, Geek (David Burke), is a computer whiz and fixes him up with sound-sensitive fingers as well as providing him with a new persona–Cyberstorm. Fame comes quickly, and he is able to not only get revenge on the hoods, but to make up with family and friends. Good premise, but not-so-good execution.
