"Finally, a movie about a band."

Sep 12 1997 Not Rated 1h 43m
Comedy, Music

Tony gets fired from his job. He's not really sad about this because he prefers writing songs and playing the guitar. He meets the drummer Charlie and they decide to start a band, although Tony is afraid of playing in front of other people. He can't even play in front of Charlie. They find another guitarist, Wynn, who enjoys fishing if he's not playing the guitar. The final member of the band is Eric, the bass-player who is often unpredictable in his actions. They name the band Circus Monkey and want to get famous and rich. However, after some successful gigs, they begin to realize what all the big music and show business is about

Plot

A rollicking rock and roll road trip that will take you to the starving edge of the independent music scene. Charlie, Eric, Tony, and Wynn hardly know each other, but here they are in the most ridiculous, volatile and tenuous of unions: a band. Four young men find themselves hurtling through an exhilarating, sometimes painful adventure that puts them on a collision course with self discovery, or self destruction.
