What, did they want to give moviegoers two extra days not to buy tickets?<\/p>\n<p>The film focuses on a 40-something loser who missed out on rock &#8216;n roll stardom when he was kicked out of a band that went on to find Billboard success. He gets a second chance through becoming the drummer for his nephew&#8217;s high school band.<\/p>\n<p>This movie reeks of being one where the writers thought the concept itself was so funny that they didn&#8217;t need to bother about an interesting plot or well-defined characters. I could be wrong, but what I&#8217;ve seen, that&#8217;s what it looks like.<\/p>\n<p>I will give them this. The publicity stunt of Rainn Wilson\u00a0&#8220;kidnapping&#8221; his Office cast mate Jenna Fischer and holding her ransom\u00a0until\u00a0this film makes $18.7 million at the box office is brilliant.
