Rocker Ethan Brand (Alessandro Nivola) and his band, the Ethan Brand Experience, are on the comeback trail when a former flame (Elisabeth Shue) drops a bomb in his lap—their 13-year-old daughter, Janie Jones (Abigail Breslin).
Ethan refuses to believe Janie is his kid, but when her mom suddenly leaves for rehab, the child has no place to go but with the band.
With no inclination toward fatherhood, Ethan continues his hard-living ways, leaving Janie to fend for herself in the dive bars and sleazy motels along the way.
As his drug- and booze-fueled antics take their toll on and off stage, the band deserts him one by one, until he and Janie are left alone. Desperate to finish the tour and revive his career, Ethan stays on the road as a solo act with Janie in tow.
As Ethan’s self-destructive spiral threatens to derail his comeback, Janie uses her own surprising musical talents to help guide him down the rocky road to redemption.

Baseret på/inspireret af: the true story of writer/director David Rosenthal about the introduction of a father to the teenage daughter he never knew he had.

Havde aldrig hørt om den men "snublede" over den i dag og hold da op hvor er jeg glad for den oplevelse :o)

Det er en indie-roadmovie og dermed IKKE en A eller mainstreamfilm men så er den så meget andet :o)

Tempoet er ikke højt men det er dybden i karaktererne som de udvikler sig det drejer sig om. Den har fået meget delte anmeldelser.
Anmeldere er ikke vilde med den, men dem der har set den de steder jeg ser film har kun godt at sige ... Men vi er så også til de mere skæve film fra tid til anden :o)

Hvis ikke man har for høje forventninger så er den værd et kig. Og det skader ikke at der er masser af musik med i den :o)
