Gershon is a fierce rocker, but the plot is a cliche-filled melodrama. Read critic reviews

Gershon is game, but she can't rock. As her fellow band members, however, Drea de Matteo is a goddess of cool and Lori Petty breaks your heart. Steven Trask's music is as much a plus here...

The film has its sensibilities in the right place.

Aside from Ms. Gershon's performance (none of the other cast members actually played), there's little to elevate the music -- or the movie -- above clich.

Played with the right combination of weariness and optimism by Gina Gershon, Jacki will be recognizable to any woman who has ever strapped on a guitar and plugged in, as well as to those of us who have encountered her.

A rock drama that's hung over with inauthenticity.
November 7, 2003 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review… -
It's a raw and raucous rock story that, for once, gets the big picture and the small details right.

Jun 21, 2011And this is why I don't like "indies". Are the people who write them incapable of happy endings? Or even a positive ending? I'd settle for a hopeful ending. But no. And it's a shame, because a film like this, that details an endless struggle, NEEDS an upbeat ending.Marcus W Super Reviewer

Nov 04, 2010This is supposed to be some dyke must-see, however, the only thing it's got going for it, is exactly that. The women look super-sexy on stage (Gina Gherson, Drea De Matteo and Lori Petty are not only fit but believably bad-ass) yet the film itself is poorely scripted and awfully lit, and if it didn't have Hedwig's Steven Trask taking care of the music, I think it would have sucked big time. If you want to spend some time feasting your eyes on the leads, then this movie is for you. If, however, you expect something deeper, you will have to feel content with the "I heart Music that's why I am still 40 and play it" over-riding theme, which may in itself not be so bad, yet it hardly gives us any additional insight into life as such.Anastasia B Super Reviewer

Jan 05, 2008The only thing I liked about this movie was that I was able to translate the French t-shirt that said "Je suis libre ce soir"Ida K Super Reviewer
