Campus Radio is an indie movie written and directed by Canadian filmmaker Aaron James Sorensen. I generally like movies that have music as a major theme in the movie, and this one is no exception. Its about a struggling band manager/ college radio DJ who is trying to piece his life together while getting his band, Meathouse, into the limelight. The acting in the movie is really believable and as mentioned the soundtrack is very well used throughout the entire movie. I don't think there is a scene without at least a little bit of music in it. Overall a decent movie with some really funny parts. Also loved the Led Zeppelin and Sega Genisis references! A little Earthworm Jim anyone? 6 outta 10

This movie was recommended to us by our son and his band and we weren't sure whether they loved it so much because it was about a band or because it was as excellent as they said...but after their second night of seeing it we decided to go and we took our grandson with us. Three generations of our family all loved this movie... the cast is incredible...and the relationships in the movie are real and something you can relate to. The movie's engaging and fun to watch-no slow moments- and there's a message in it but it's not coined or sappy or shoved down your throat. We each came out happy and with our own interpretations. Definitely a two thumbs up movie!

So its a Friday night and my girl (friend) wants to see a movie. I want to go see 127 Hours or The King's Speech but she wants to see Little Fockers. After much arguing we decide upon this movie which we have never heard of. Yeah so pretty much this movie sucked. I was bored out of my mind and so was my girl. The main character made me feel very uncomfortable.The camera work in this film is awful and super annoying.The screenplay is weak and has much of the same dialog you would see from a Michael Cera movie.Lots of generic "indie" stuff and what not. This comes from a guy who enjoyed Juno. The only good thing I can say about this movie is that the chick was hot and a good actress. I should have just given in and saw Little Fockers.

Title says it all. I honestly wanted to like this movie, but every time I'd start to be interested, it would fall flat and completely disappoint me. Riddled with clichés, it offers nothing new, and desperately tries to be a witty/quirky story with witty/quirky characters.
This film was obviously coined by some old geezer trying to reconnect with today's youth; but is just making himself look ridiculous and out of touch in the process.
If you're on the fence with this one, save yourself the money (or bandwidth if you're downloading) and see something else.
