2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

arfdawg-1 Small crappy Brit film that will bore the crap out of you.The PlotElderly aristocrats Lord Charles and Lady Diana Foxley give their staff - butler Benson and cook Margaret - a one week vacation while the Foxleys visit friends as they have rented out their historic mansion for that week to a multinational corporation. As they are proud people, what no one but the Foxleys are aware of is that they are doing so only because they are in dire financial straits, and desperately need the money to retain their outwardly lavish lifestyle. But when the agency through which they hired the temporary cook and butler for the renters goes bankrupt leaving them with no temporary staff, Lady Diana believes the only way they can get away with this rental plan without incurring a costly penalty or to advertise their financial problems is to act as "Benson" and "Margaret" themselves, much against stuffy Lord Charles' wishes and despite they not knowing how to be domestics.

Jim Purvis Charming ? Of course; it's English. Well, it's not English. Turns out it was shot near Toronto. I had no idea until I checked the IMDb on it. That is the first plus. I was watching endless TV crap.. (sleepless) and this movie appeared. I have always loved Peter O'Toole and there he was. I have not even finished watching it and I am forced to write this review. By the way; this is the first I have ever written. Pardon my inexperience. Imagine the disruption an English lord feels when his wife inveigles him into accepting an American rock band into his castle.. (In England a man's home is his castle) but then imagine how the Lord and Lady gradually win the love of the band and begin to change their views. Good acting for the most part, good direction and not too many of the usual clichés made this movie rise well above the usual TV mediocrity. I think I have to be honest and not give it a ten out of ten but it is certainly worth. .. umm. OK 6.8. These days 6.8 on IMDb is high praise so please give this one a chance and if you happen to decide to write YOUR first review ..? Treat this one kindly. Before I get back to watching the ending Just let me say that this is that this is a surprising success.

aimless-46 "Global Heresy" a/k/a "Rock My World" is an odd little ($12 Million) production that was incorrectly marketed as another "Spinal Tap". I've seen "Spinal Tap" and this is no ......... But what it lacks in comedy it makes up in unpretentious charm. You wonder what idiot determines the target audience for these productions. With Alicia Silverstone posed in tight silver pants on the poster, they tried unsuccessfully to market it to Gen X viewers; but Alicia has at best a small supporting role and never appears in the pictured outfit so it is no surprise that it did not catch on with that demographic. Peter O'Toole and Joan Plowright play the two main characters and they are unlikely to attract young viewers. Baby boomers are the audience most likely to connect with the film, despite a cast that is a mix of actors older and younger than that group. But boomers are the real rock fans and are old enough to appreciate the subtle script and the underplayed performances of O'Toole and Plowright. Too bad it was not originally marketed to that group. The original ill-conceived title refers to the name of an American rock band whose founder has disappeared and is feared dead. Needing time to integrate his replacement (bass player Silverstone) into the group, their management company rents an English estate from the impoverished Lord and Lady Foxley where they can secretly rework their material. The couple finds out that they can make even more money by impersonating the servants. Much the same premise as "High Spirits", where O'Toole rented his haunted Irish castle to tourists. The band members like to party but are basically likable young people and their music is actually pretty good. O'Toole's character starts out as a Lionel Barrymore type curmudgeon but eventually loosens up (big surprise). The two disparate groups learn a lot from each other and the film almost crosses the line into sappy city. Fortunately Plowright manages to hold things together with a performance that nicely grounds things and makes the whole concept seem plausible. On the plus side the film was nicely shot and has an overall great look to it. And there is a nice bit of misdirection concerning the record company executive that you might or might not see coming-the clues are there but you might miss them. On the minus side there is an extremely weak homage to George Roy Hill's "Funny Farm"; instead of a speeding mailman "Rock My World" has a Mini driver paperboy who terrorizes O'Toole's character. This bit is not funny the first time and is repeated on countless occasions throughout the film. Bottom line, "Rock My World" is a good watch for boomers. Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

R_Burgos2000 Rock My World (Also known as Global Heresy) is a 2 way story.The first part is about Lord (Peter O'Toole) and Lady (Joan Plowright) Foxley. It seems they've nearly gone bankrupt. So, to save money the couple decide to rent their mansion to the band known as Global Heresy.The second part is about the band: Leo (Jaimz Woolvett), Dave (Lochlyn Munro), Flit (Keram Malicki-Sánchez), Carl(Christopher Bolton) and filling in for their missing mate is Nat Bevin (Alicia Silverstone).The two world collide when the Lord and Lady play butler and maid for one week for the group. During that week, the band plays, they hang, get high and learn some lessons about what makes a band.They aren't the only ones who learn. The Lord and Lady accept their shortcomings, become hip to current things and love not only eachother, but those around them.Global Heresy is a fine example of a cult film. Already, 100s of people are in love with the music. The music is mostly hard rock and some soft tones, and each song is as good as the other.The acting is in top form. Alicia shines at Nat and has some funny one liners to boot. The entire cast also holds up well.The direction is flawless. Each character is given enough screen time so it doesn't seem the movie is just focused on Alicia's beautiful face or Lord and Lady Foxley's problems. There is enough screen time to go around.Global Heresy is rated R and contains: strong language, adult themes, sexual situations and a stoned Peter O'Toole. Check it out.
