Stuck together, Adam and Morello make their way around the festival. When Adam's model girlfriend finds him handcuffed to a complete stranger she gets pretty pissed and Morello doesn't make things any easier. She eggs her on making it seem like something is going on between Adam and herself. Only when her boyfriend shows up does she regret this decision. Luckily her boyfriend is more understanding and when they run into Adam's girlfriend later she gives him another chance. The foursome wonders around the music festival and even performing and its on stage that Adam and Morello start to become friends. In fact, Adam feels a connection with Morello that he doesn't feel with his girlfriend. So when his band mate presents him with a key to the handcuffs he shakes them off.
As the festival continues to two grow closer together. When Adam's girlfriend begins to notice, he doesn't deny his attraction to Morello and they break up. Which also results in Morello's boyfriend dumping her. Feeling like loser, Morello drags him off to enjoy more of the festival and even get in a mud fight. The moment finally feels right and they start kissing and then some as they wash themselves off. However, when the festival organizer asks them for the handcuffs back and news gets out about the key Adam waived off, there seems to be trouble in paradise.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that they did all the filming for this movie during the festival, which describes the use of long takes and lack of studio lighting. And if this is true I applaud them. That would be a total nightmare filming a feature length movie in just a few days surrounded by thousands of drunks. Needless to say they got some pretty impressive shots for the conditions they were working with.
Rating: ***
I am so mad they took this off netflix. One of my faves.
