Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
Yeah, so it stars rock-star Jon Bon Jovi, but dont let that put you off entirely. This is a film by John Duigan which more than holds its own. Bon Jovi plays Robin Grange, an LA actor heading to London to tread the boards. He starts to get tangled up in relationships with the Directors wife & girlfriend, causing tension & confusion.
Admittedly, the film may not be to the suiting of most & really is for Bon Jovi fans only. And to be honest, Jon Bon Jovi actually shows his potential as a top name in Hollywood as well as a great musician/singer. And I have to give it some stars as I also make a brief appearance in the film myself. And what more can you ask for than to be special on-set guest for the day - its what I got.
