DVD Synopsis

Alex Proyas, director of The Crow and Dark City, switches gears for the lightweight romantic comedy Garage Days. Set in the Sydney suburb of Newtown, Freddy (Kick Gurry) really wants his band to make it big. The band consists of his girlfriend Tanya (Pia Miranda) on bass, the drugged-out Lucy (Chris Sadrinna) on drums, and the mopey Joe (Brett Stiller) on guitar. Their inept manager, Bruno (Russell Dykstra), thinks they can get successful if they hook up with record executive Shad Kern (Marton Csokas). However, the band develops personal problems when Joe's girlfriend Kate (Maya Stange) announces she's pregnant and falls for Freddy, then gothic girl Angie (Yvette Duncan) seduces Joe, and Tanya gets involved with Lucy. Garage Days premiered at the 2003 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD

Alex Proyas is known for his stylish action films. With his little-seen Garage Days, he tackled the subject of a struggling rock band. The film debuts on DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen anamorphic transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a Spanish soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles are accessible. Supplemental materials include a commentary track recorded by Proyas, deleted scenes, interviews with the cast and crew, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and outtakes. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

John S. (boba1980) from EDISON, NJ wrote on 11/15/2009...

Very entertaining comedy in the same vain as Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. Much funnier than I thought it would be and well thought out, was a delight.
