The young David Hemmings is the only actor familiar to me in this enjoyable British musical comedy where he's the son and savior of a family who have just purchased a bed and breakfast and a quaint neighborhood, dealing with lack of customers, a battleaxe cook (with a hidden heart of gold) who needs to be fired and some terrific musical guest stars. Hemmings befriends on American girl from Texas who longs to be on the stage and romance blossoms.
That's all there basically is to the plot as this is a situation comedy where the hardships of running a business and breaking into show business is all there is. American audiences (particularly those interested in classic rock and roll) will enjoy the variety of acts, with Jerry Lee Lewis standing out in his cameo in all his delicious oddness. Other acts may not be as well known but are pastiches of famous groups of the time Quirky supporting characters are all a lot of fun with the younger ones delightfully hip and the older ones impossibly square. One of the younger male characters does a very funny impression of a conversation between some square older women, having every mannerism down perfectly. Pretty good above average British kitchen table film that is a bit more accessible than many others I've seen.
