In my haste to complete yesterday's later-than-my-usual-bedtime post, I forgot to include any details about "The Rocker."
Unfortunately, there aren't many that are still with me, 24 hours later. All I remember is that I laughed some, grimaced at other times and enjoyed the music. I do, however, have a few opinions of the cast:
Rainn Wilson was, as expected, wacky.
As his sister and brother-in-law, Jane Lynch and Jeff Garlin were subtle, yet hilarious.
The teens -- Josh Gad, Teddy Geiger and Emma Stone -- were perfectly cast. (Geiger gets bonus points for his blue eyes and singing ability.)
Christina Applegate, as Geiger's mother, was hard to believe at first, but knowing she was a teen mom-turned-single mom helped make the character more believable.
Also, it was fun to see cameos by Jane Krakowski, Will Arnett and Fred Armisen. Jason Sudeikis was appropriately sleazy as A.D.D.'s band manager/label representative.
My favorite, though, would have to be Howard Hesseman, who played the hippie tour bus driver to perfection.
