The movie is an absolute travesty. Its full of every druggie, sixties cliche imaginable. They couldn't/wouldn't pay the copyright on the original tunes so the music for the most part consists of lamentably poor cover versions. The script stinks. The acting is awful. Brian's character is totally dislikeable and unsympathetic, Fair enough you might say, but they haven't even made him interesting. The rest of the Stones don't fare well either. There's none of the exitement or fun of the times, no sense of how important the Stones were, in fact no real sense of time and place at all. I hate it. Can't you tell?
