I became slightly
piqued by Cameron's courtship of Lily, the event coordinator at one of the
hotels that they stay. The fact that Cameron is part of a popular band means
that he can nail any girl he wants--any girl, anywhere, anytime. So why is he after
sweet Lily, the quiet and hardworking artist, who just doesn't seem like his
type? Maybe because she was more of a conquest. Game on, right?
Propelled by
witty and somewhat boorish remarks, story generates a competition of gratuitous
bravado. But then what starts off as a game--as a one-night stand full of hot
passion--quickly becomes a complicated mess in the throes of a band's fame and
superficiality. Can romance survive the tight booking schedules, the endless tour
dates, and the flashing lights of paparazzi?
For me, the
life of a rock star is not as glamorous with the wild partying, the booze, and
the loose women. In fact, I'd find it a little boring. Additionally, the
"relationship" between Cameron and Lily was not that genuine or believable.
How can you deem someone "special" within 2 seconds of meeting them?
And for a rock star to put his fame on the back burner just to fit into her
world? C'mon! Maybe if we had gotten Lily's perspective we might've figured out
the reasoning behind this whole hook-up. But the fact that it was strictly told
from Cameron's point of view indicates that this was an unbridled
infatuation--it was just sex. It was kind of hard to take it serious.
With a few
exciting moments here and there, this was
an average, mildly trivial romance with a fleeting pace.
My rating: 3 stars
