Fake Bands Rock my World

After a long and miserable day, I came home really down.

But I was immediately picked up by an encore presentation of the ABC-Family original movie "POP ROCKS" -- in case you don't know the film, it's like this. Gary Cole (the Dad from the Brady Bunch movies; and the boss from Office Space) plays a straight-laced banker and father of two. But 20 years ago, he was the front-man for a heavy metal band called ROCK TOXIN. Long story short, the band gets back together, he needs the money to pay for his daughter's college tuition, it's a crazy double-life, with plenty of 3's company moments.

The music rocks, the comedy is funny and Gary Cole proves that he's one of the most talented (and underrated) actors working today.
