Customer Reviews

One big flashback

Newsperson Maggie Foley (Ellen Barkin) suspects that a singer, Eddie Wilson (Michael Paré), after being missing for 19 years, is still out there somewhere. In her search for Eddie, she interviews the other members of his defunct band. Each member, in turn, visualizes what it was like when Eddie was alive. We go along for the ride in a huge series of flashbacks. Not part of the original music, but fun to hear again, is “Runaway” by Del Shannon. The story is fun to watch as it unfolds. It will only work for you if you like the particular music, as that is just as much a character of the movie as the people.
