2/10
A concert on film, with a snip of a plot.

Warning: Spoilers
What seems like an hour long television drama with rock and roll thrown in is actually a cheaply made theatrical movie that seems to have had a budget in cents, not dollars. It concerns the illegal goings on in a famous Texas rock and roll hangout and the discovery by some teens of what's going on. The first half is mostly music with occasional interruptions for plot development, but very little of the later. Even towards the end when the plot begins to heat up and at least provide a little interest, it once again returns to the big beats of the music, which at least makes it flow by pretty fast. However, unlike other rock and roll musicals of the mid-late 1950's, this one seems to have utilized mostly third rate rock groups who have some talent but not enough to be memorable. Acting abilities by the few people who speak lines is marginal at best, and technically, this is way below average. I would recommend this for rock and roll historians only; For those looking for a good story with songs and some fast dancing will be majorly disappointed.
