Killer Diller

Writer-director Tricia Brock springs a few pleasant surprises while tilling familiar ground in her promising debut feature about a guitar-playing car thief who transforms a spiritless gospel group into a kick-ass blues band.

I loved the music. It's a good film.

How rockin' can a band be when their leader is Fred Willard?

This story of a vaguely Elvis-esque troublemaker who transforms the misfit gospel choir at a Baptist halfway house into a rockin' blues band could probably be screened at a real Baptist halfway house without controversy.
