Cult classic from Oscar-winning writer Nancy Dowd (Coming Home) and filmmaker Lou Adler, the only other film he directed after Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke. Diane Lane stars as a young musician who, after her mother's death, starts a rebellious all-women band named The Stains. Also stars Laura Dern in one of her first big roles, who was initially prevented from travelling on location because of her mother until Dern sued for legal emancipation—and won.

"The film is interesting in its portrayal of rock 'n' roll on the road, though it's unsuccessful as a whole."

TV Guide
TV Guide"There's no compromise in the film's bleak, often scabrously funny portrait of life on the road."
—
Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Times"This "exposé" is too familiar and too sloppily filmed to shock anyone."

Chicago Reader
Chicago Reader"Didn’t catch on with auds in 1981, but has since developed a following that includes music junkies and, reportedly, musicians such as Courtney Love and Bikini Kill’s Tobi Vail."
