A Rare Comedy that has Heart

A rare comedy that has heart featuring a lovably awkward protagonist (Power) and 80's style humor wonderfully reminiscent of Wayne's World. Power as a character is definitely innocent yet eccentric in that same kind of Garth way. He's also very relatable on his quest to fulfill his passion, which in his case is to be a drummer even though he never played because he couldn't afford a drum set of his own. Adventures of Power is both silly and surprisingly powerful in moments. Without taking itself too seriously the film still manages to address serious social issues and intertwine it's own unique humor. Memorable scenes are thoughtfully edited to music with an undercurrent of social commentary on worker's right and class warfare that no one has really touched on in films so much recently, or done so in such a poetic way. The film also is full of amazing classic rock and has a nostalgia which is also rare to find. It carries an important message of following your own path and passion even when you can't afford to (or even when your parents disapprove of you). The kind of determination of Power, though in jest and good fun, make this an inspirational uplifting comedy for generations to come. I feel like this is the kind of film that seems really simple on the surface but actually has many layers. Definitely one to see more than once. A must see for the dreamer in all of us.

Ari Gold ruined this.

Apparently this Ari Gold guy is an ego-maniac. His forced subtitles about his "inner feelings" just destroyed my ability to watch and hopefully enjoy this film.

I gave it a few minutes to (hopefully) go away but it seemed that I was going to have to endure his "running commentary" for the entire movie.

Sorry, but I don't want subtitle narration for a movie.

Whoever this air drummer guy is should either really learn how to play the drums or . . . Evaporate.

I hate that this site (which I use daily) requires a minimum number of characters to post a comment on here. I still have 26 to go . . . And, I made it!

Cheers!
