“Eternity: The Movie” is a satire in search of a target, the cinematic manifestation of a sarcastic teenager's yearning to make fun of something, anything, whatever's lying around. The various bullseyes of director Ian Thorpe's dramatic eye-rolling end up being aspiring musicians, male friendships, and a vague concept of “the 80s” that encompasses sax solos, blue eye shadow, Tab soda, and AIDS panic. Too earnest to be satisfyingly arch and too scattered to succeed as parody, Thorpe's goofy musical comedy only manages a sporadic charm through the occasional bon mot or a madcap flight of fancy. More often, the film.
