By the way, look closely at the hockey coach.

It's Henry Rollins, thus proving this movie was not just metal, but punk, too.

I deeply regretted having to cut the scene where Michael's group gets in a battle of the bands with Black Flag over whose version of "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" is more rockin'.

All I could think as I read your review is: “This guy used to be Batman”?

How depressingly sad.

Granted, roles like Batman don't come around that often and we all gotta work, but MAN this film did not need an actor of Keaton's caliber. It would have worked just as well (i.e., not at all) with the average Hallmark Christmas Movie Rom-Com cast.

Probably that half the job was just voice recording, which meant no location shots, no hair and make-up, no early call time. As paychecks go, this one was probably easier than most.

He replaced George Clooney in the cast.

That's what he was thinking.
