Rating:  - Not Yet Born In The U.S.A.....
Being we never had a stateside release of this film on dvd, lets see a U.S.A. blu-ray release! The music is awesome, the acting is incredible (esp on Joan Jett and Gena Rowlands behalf).
I have copies on VHS tape, but I just upgraded everything in my entertainment center to hi-def 1080P plasma and bluray. In otherwords, there is no more vcr in my entertainment center!
Blu-ray would make this movie even more incredible!
A bit of trivia for you:

Rating: - Almost as good as "Teen Wolf Too"
Is there a more perfect mom and dad in the world than Alex P. Keaton and Joanna "Jo" Marie Polniaczek from "The Facts of Life"? Or were they supposed to be brother and sister? In any case, they really know how to cook up a tearjerker and they can definitely take care of a nauseatingly cute tyke monster. I personally think it was a mistake for Jo to switch from militant lesbian biker babe to white trash heterosexual. However, anything to improve on Alex as GOP spokesmodel I would have to say is a turn ... Read More
Rating: - excellent
i have seen this movie many times. Joan Jett is excellent as Patty, Michael J Fox rocks as her brother, and unlike Back to the Future, he is really playing the guitar in this movie and the song he sings with little Billy Sullivan is awesome. Michael McKeon has come along was from playing Lenny on Lavergne and Shirly he makes a great Bu. This movie was my first introduction to Gena Rowlands and i thought she was very good.
Rating:  - Disappointing
Two good songs (Light of Day and This Means War) are not enough to save this rock and roll movie. Joan Jett's acting consists of reading her lines with a face fixed in a snarling sneer. or is it a sneering snarl? No matter. Michael Fox will try to fix it all with his unwavering look of quiet concern and a few bobs of the head.
There is, I'm sure, a good movie waiting to be made about bar bands in gritty rock and roll clubs. Unlike Light of Day, it will have characters we can care about, ... Read More
Rating: - Overlooked Classic
This is a great look at the everday lives of your average blue- collar musician who doesn't expect fame and fortune, but is just trying to get by and play music because that is what they enjoy doing more than anything else in life. I don't understand the people who say michael J. Fox was miscast. I think he comes off as convincing in the character he portrays- and he is a real- life musician as well, even before he became famous for acting. Do people on here not realize that he did play his guitar parts ... Read More
