I watched this one on my 16 hour flight yesterday from Dubai to Houston and found it enjoyable so I thought I'd share.
It's a true Kiwi movie so the humor and pace are a little different to what we're used to in American movies.
It's based on the true story of a private school kid in Christchurch in the 1970s who gets into the punk rock music scene.

Christchurch, 1979. Angus, alone for a fortnight with his world-weary father, is drawn into the underground post-punk music scene. Desperate to fit in with this magnetic but fickle subculture, Angus distances himself from his true friends and fabricates his musical abilities. Caught out by his own deceit he must become the musician he pretended to be. With the support of his friends, especially the talented Kirsten, Angus navigates self-doubt, derision, harmful behaviour and a family tragedy to take the stage for the first time.
