Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Goldirocks (2003): Dir: Paula Tiberius / Cast: Sasha Ormond, Greg Legros, Dominick Abrams, Laura Kim, Megan Dunlop: Rock satire of Goldilocks and the Three Bears only this time Goldi meets three young musicians and spends a consider amount of time with all three of them. She works at a coffee shop but dreams of stage and stardom and moves in with three young male musicians. Repetitious sexual flings as Goldi becomes involved with all three. Myles is quite cold towards her but the crowds are bigger with her. Directed by Paula Tiberius who gives the film an appropriate documentary feel in the This is Spinal Tap tradition. She gives insight into the music business and the egos involved. The band is purely in the punk rock scene with the female lead styled similar to that of Avril Lavigne. Sasha Ormond as Goldi brings the yearning for success coming off a mediocre job. Her flings with the boys are more a mockery and should have been handled better. Greg Legros as Myles learns that even though Goldi stole the show, perhaps he need look into the reality that he isn't the band's strongest element. Other casting include Dominick Abrams and Laura Kim. Does the fairy tale element work? It will likely turn off those looking for mature films regarding the music scene. Otherwise it is a comical look into the ambitions of getting into the industry. Score: 7 / 10

This film contained an interesting outlook on the harshness of the rock and roll business. It features a large variety of artists with varying degrees of exposure. The story line is weak at times, but the point gets across very effectively. I think this movie set could have been located anywhere, such as New York, Chicago, L.A. etc. and the bands would have faced the same challenges. The fact that it was filmed in Toronto makes it more palatable, because I am Canadian. The main actor/singer Shasa Ormond (Goldi) has potential both as an actor and singer. Hopefully we will be seeing more of her talents in the near future. It was a fun movie to watch and I am looking forward to the release of the DVD.

Are you for real?Goldirocks is, without a doubt, a dismal failure as entertainment.There is nothing accurate or realistic about it. And it has no value as far as I can see. It would take way more than forty bands to save this one. More than four hundred.If the makers of this movie are actually part of the Toronto music scene, which I seriously doubt, then they are part of some warped corner of it where bands like Sticky Rice, Cheerleader and Wayne Omaha are cool. The exact opposite of reality.As for the movie; the acting is atrocious, the dialogue has never been spoken by anyone in history other than the actors, the camera work and direction are totally hopeless. The main character is completely unlikable, for crying out loud! Not a single redeeming quality! Well, she sleeps around a lot, so maybe that would appeal to a pubescent boy, but that's about it.As for rock and roll, Goldirocks offers absolutely nothing new or even interesting. Just a bunch of should-be-retired semi-has-beens-that-never-were-or-will-be.My prediction? No one involved with this will ever work again, waiting on tables notwithstanding.

Saw the film at the NSI film exchange here in Winnipeg.It was truly amazing. I really enjoyed it and so did everyone else I was with. It includes some great music (40 bands either appear in or are musically featured in the film) This is definitely a film I hope to purchase a copy of when it is released. The film paints a great (I assume accurate as the film makes grew up in the scene) picture of the Toronto rock scene. It's films like this one that prove Canadian cinema is no less in quality than any from around the world.
