Pure classic! Not the first time I've seen this and unlikely the last but always fun to watch. Special effects for the time brilliant, pretty good acting and that music unforgettable. For me this Jaws film seems to go so fast, I love how the shark arrives on the scene so quickly and starts ripping up the locals immediately with not too much suspense. It also doesn't go crazy and kill half the town before being tracked by authorities. Most definitely a worthy watch, always!

Loved it! Was struggling to find something I wanted to watch in the local DVD store, this one just popped out at me. Think it was the music theme that drew me to it, I was in a musical mood. Good story line about a couple of lonely strangers with a common passion for music. Set in Dublin, funny at times, easy to follow and lighthearted for the most part. Definately a worthy watch in my opinion, I'd watch again just for the music!

Cast:
Mickey Rourke as Randy 'The Ram' Robinson

Mark Margolis as Lenny

Not bad. I enjoyed watching Mickey Rourke perform despite his life being quite sad. Not the usual up-beat story line you would expect from a film like this, quite refreshing in a way! Having enjoyed watching WWF back in the old days it brought back fond memories. Also good to get an insight into how it might be back-stage before, during and after a big wrestling event. A worthy watch I'd say but nothing too special!
