What We Do Is Secret (movie)

We had heard negative reviews of this movie but when it popped up in Netflix we decided to check it out anyway. Well, the reviews were right.

While the acting was overall mediocre, some of the worst offenses were visual. Obviously, this movie was super low-budget, but the wigs are painfully evident, there was no attempt whatsoever to replicate the look of any of the clubs (I literally laughed our loud at what was supposed to be Club 88), there are continuity issues and props show up in scenes that are years out of place.

The story is roughly taken from the book on Darby and again, no one here is very likable or easy to relate to (the movie even turns Bolles into a bit of a buffoon, which is kinda sad and annoying as he is nicer and more intelligent than most of the players here). The story is pretty much there, but everyone knows that the band was a joke that could barely play live and then fell apart due mostly to Darby being wasted, which ended his life. Nothing ground-breaking here.

In any case, even fans of this band should stay away from this mess - pretty amazingly awful - and not even in a good, B-Movie kinda way.
