Who is SA5M?
The 5 is silent. Sa5m is 15 years old, dressed down in black jeans and t-shirt,
with hair strategically hiding her face from the world, she is a loner, one of the
school’s outsiders, constantly seen with a book in hand. Smart, with a sense of
humor and a lot of disdain for her shallow peers, Sam is a former stutterer and
now speaks slowly and deliberately. She teams up with Will on a class project,
and the two quickly discover they have a lot in common. Their friendship
eventually takes the shape of a burgeoning romance. Brought on board
as the lead singer for the band Will is managing, Sa5m emerges from her
cocoon, demonstrating grit and commitment to perfection…

There was supposed to be a Bandslam press event this week, and that's why V was in NYC.

new thread, love the title
Thanks Kristen

&& since it was at the end of the thread, I'll repost the review of the trailer that Carol posted. I like the apprehension actually, && the fact that they do see the charm of the movie (I've read that word a few times from the little thoughts we get from those that've seen a screening of it, makes me smile)

Quote:
Trailbait is worried. Our mental health may be at stake here… but we’re actually not completely against the idea of Bandslam.

Okay so we’re not 13-year old girls, we don’t know all the songs from High School Musical off by heart, and we have an IQ above 48, but there’s something here that just appeals to us.

Bandslam is the story of the new kid in town who gathers together a group of misfit musicians to try and win a battle of the bands competition.

You see, at heart, trailbait are misfit wannabe musicians too. We understand, we sympathise. We relate.

The trailer is too long, shows way too much of the story and not nearly enough of Vanessa Hudgens. The music sounds like it’s going to be fairly cheesy, middle of the road pop rock. The jokes fall flat and cliche seems to be only goal here.

But for all it’s faults, Bandslam has a charm that likely means a covert trailbait trip to the cinema when it’s released.

Verdict: Look But Don’t Touch. We can’t endorse this kind of entertainment for everyone, but we can’t help but have a soft spot for it either.
Bandslam (2009) Trailbait

Yea, open minds FTW

I don't much mind the apprehension -- it is after all a teen-driven movie, it doesn't exactly scream mass-appeal, but again, I like the fact that they do see the charm I think that's the thing that will carry the movie, the charm && quirkiness it has to it. Since it seems there were only a few minor changes from the script && all, I think it has that quirky appeal, but that's just me

&& I must be easily amused/easy to make laugh cause I found the jokes hilarious
