Review of Satisfaction

All of the elements for a fun band musical are there, but something went awry in either the editing bay or the script development. It just feels like there are whole scenes missing, scenes that would have fleshed out the characters and given us more time to get to know and care about them. There are glimmers of that here and there (for instance, there's a nice scene between the band's keyboardist and the drummer when they're first falling in love, but it's never followed up again, we never see that subplot develop at all). We're basically given the cliff notes version of what could have been a decent-ish two hour movie or maybe it would've been better served as a dramedy television series (those were gaining popularity around the time this came out).
