Plot summary
A rag tag band of idiots on the verge of signing a recording contract is sandbagged by their lead singer, Chas Knopfler, into throwing the mother of all parties the night before they embark on a world tour. Eddie Mesmer, the rhythm guitarist, awakens to find his drummer, Toss Dunbar, hanging from a tree like a scarecrow, and the house completely destroyed. Eddie and Toss quickly realize that A: they can't remember anything and B: there's a dead guy in the pool. Now, they have to figure out what happened the night before or their Rock and Roll dream is over.

I just watched this on ITunes by accident
Not sure where the 10/10 reviews came from
I hate to accuse people who posted here 10 years ago of being paid shills for the production, but that seems to be the case with these reviewers. If you've ever seen one of those movies where someone in L. A. just decided to go ahead and make a movie about things they thought would be cool and/or funny without realizing that there's a world outside of L. A. where movies are primarily objects of consumption, you've seen this. Middle-aged weirdos who care too much about their looks and not enough about anything else should be banned from polluting the world of art with garbage like this.
If Quentin Tarantino directed The Hangover it might be good. Imagine if that happened, but instead of Quentin Tarantino they could only get his non-union Russian equivalent.
