Plot summary
Thomas Harrison is determined to start his own alternative band after the suicide of Kurt Cobain—it's an obsession that blinds him to what's either the mental collapse, or the eruption of musical genius, of his little sister, Bridget. Bridget boldly rejects her brother's music, and the music of an entire generation of slackers, by taking on the persona of a gangsta' rapper.

Loved everything about this film. It was nostalgic
Hard to Rate
I found it hard to rate this. If you're looking for an entertaining movie, this really isn't it. If you're looking for a pretty accurate depiction of a family with teenagers that's mostly rather depressing and pretty much of a downer, then this is for you.
Music is a central theme in the movie, making it watchable for me; the soundtrack is well-suited and pretty cool. The movie portrays some authentic teen (as well as the mom and dad's) angst while uncovering each's particular situation they're struggling with. Really good acting on everyone's part, and a good message. It's not at all uplifting. If you're struggling to get through it, at least be sure to fast forward to around 1:23-ish and watch the AA scene, which I consider to be the point of the movie and an important message for all to hear.
