Movie Reviews of Hard to Hold

Movie Review: "Hard to Hold"
Summary: 3 Stars

It's great if you really like Rick Springfield, but the story line left me a little flat. It needed more depth into the characters.

Movie Review: Hard to Watch
Summary: 2 Stars

The first 30 minutes of this movie are great. Rick is cute and funny as his character is locked out of his dressing room and mobbed by adoring fans. The concert scenes are TERRIFIC and having seen Rick in concert many times I enjoyed them very much. Unfortunately, after the requisite "beefcake shot" of Rick, the plot of the movie slides downhill into Bad Soap Opera Land.

Rick CAN act and I have seen him give some amazing performances. That said, this movie doesn't show his skills in the best light. Mostly because the writing is HORRID but also because his co-star (Janet Eiber) is not much of an actress. Rick does his best, but he's left hanging by a bad script and a lame director.

Now, if you're looking for some great Rick Springfield tunes, then this movie won't disappoint you in that respect. The soundtrack should have won a Grammy. There are fantastic songs from Rick (one of my personal favorites "Stand Up" is fun and energetic and the hit "Love Somebody" is terrific concert footage), and other very good artists contribute including Peter Gabriel.

My advice is skip the DVD and buy the soundtrack on CD. A much better investment.

Movie Review: Rick's so so movie
Summary: 2 Stars

I saw this in the movie theatre when it came out and couldn't believe Rick did this mediocre movie at the height of his career. It's just okay and somewhat embarassing in parts. Also the lead actress was totally miscast...I had trouble believing that his character would fall for her...Rick could have done better than this but I bought it on DVD when it came out being a Rick fan...I LOVE Rick on GH when he appears though!

Movie Review: The Music Soundtrack's better
Summary: 2 Stars

First, let me just say I'm a HUGE Rick Springfield fan. I used to watch General Hospital in the '80's just for HIM. But this movie was a waste of his acting talents. The music soundtrack is much better. Save your money on the movie and order that instead.

Movie Review: Rick is STILL hot!
Summary: 2 Stars

I LOVE Rick and that will never change but the difference between how i "thot" i felt about this movie i remember from my teen years and now are well.......kinda "hard to hold" in LOL......stick to the singing babe!
