Rotten
A movie of shopworn riffs and borrowed noise, dressed up with considerable surface polish and glam production values.

Overview
The story of a young Sydney band trying to get a foothold in the competitive world of rock n' roll. After the band's first gig is a colossal failure, the lead singer takes it upon himself to go out and pursue the most successful rock manager in the country. Meanwhile, the other members of the band continue to deal with the kind of everyday life issues that can ultimately tear a band apart. It may be the dawn of a new millennium, but it's still a long way to the top if you want to rock n' roll.

Garage Days feels like a movie that belongs in the garage; it's where you put things that you can't quite dismiss, but don't really like enough to have cluttering up your actual living quarters.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Rotten
The jokes are as lame as they are tame.
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News
Fresh
Though the storytelling is a bit lopsided, the slapdash quality is charming overall, and the movie benefits from colorful characters and a couple of hilarious scenes.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
The characters are often sketchy at best.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
