Fantastic Finale!

I went to the movie not knowing what to expect. (I have read all of the books but the last one) Part 1 had been so dark and there had been no levity in it. I was expecting intense action and hoping for some humor along the way - and that's exactly what I got.
The film moved at a very good pace; there were no really slow spots. The sense of urgency and desperation was very front and center and well acted. As usual, the special effects were very good. There was never a moment where the outside world strayed into my thoughts while watching the movie; it was riveting.
I would recommend the movie to any fan of the books. It was a great ending to a wonderful set of films.

Great rock and roll fun!

As a long time rock and roll fan and a former music industry employee - I related to this movie in a big way. How many favorite old bands/artists have hit their peak and faded only to make an attempt at a big comeback? And how many times has someone had to say 'yes sir' to a boss that had no clue? This movie takes all the ups and some of the downs of rock and roll and turns it into a three day romp between London, NYC, Vegas and LA.
Aaron is the wide eyed rock and roll fan who has landed a job in the industry. At an employee meeting he is completely surprised when his boss hands him a dream assignment to escort one of his R&R idols safely from his flat in London to a hugely promoted comeback show at the Greek Theater in LA. Piece of cake!
Only it's not. The idol, Aldous Snow, the lead singer of a band who has seen it's better days, has a mind and agenda of his own. His schedule is that there is no schedule.
Aldous leads Aaron from one party to the next, from one city to the next. His only predictability is that he will be unpredictable.
Aaron is subjected to sex and drugs and rock and roll. His eyes are opened to the side of the business most people only hear about. By the time he finally gets his charge to LA the stars in Aaron's eyes have faded and he has had enough of the lifestyle he thought he wanted.
Lots of great laughs, lots of raunchy language and sex - this one is a must see for fans of rock and roll. A few serious sides as relationships are seen thru different eyes and changes occur - but for the most part it is a fun roller coaster ride full of uncomfortably funny predicaments.
Not for the faint of heart - but a must for fans of bands!
