Review of Roadies

Roadies (2016)
6/10
Watchable but clearly for boomers
22 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Pretty good cast and of course excellent writing but clearly written for the over 60 crowd. Cameron Crowe tries way too hard to resurrect classic heroes of his era that are clearly irrelevant to anyone born in the last 35 years (constant references to acts and performers that have not made an album in 30 years or died in the 70s) and toss in a few one hit wonders from the modern era to grab millennials attention. Most of the scenarios (the mystical coffee prowess of Colson Baker or the curse of the c word or 20 year olds being mesmerized by a really cringeworthy performance by Lindsey Buckingham) are campy with over the top character portrayals (Rainn Wilson) but it's light hearted and fun regardless of it being super cheesy most of the time.
