Rock My World – This is a pretty good comedy set in England (however shot and funded in Canada) that went directly to video in the U.S. although is far more involving than its theatrical fate could show. We see an aristocratic British couple rent their house to a rock band and end up posing as the butler and chef while the eccentric team ultimately shows up. Observing the interplay create between these tremendously variant generations and lifestyles is fun and the music is astoundingly catchy.
