Friends 'Til the End

Shannen Doherty sings in a college band called (we think) Dead Pink. Her boyfriend, Jason London, is also in the band. For reasons entirely unclear, Dead Pink is all the rage on campus. Shannen is also in a sorority. You can tell already that this is going to be really good. Then it gets even better. Zanne is a psycho who weasels her way into Shannen's life and even gets in her band and steals her boyfriend. Along the way she kills some people, poisons Shannen, and stars in the most hilarious music video ever made. Some sleuthing by Shannen reveals that Zanne is a childhood beauty-pageant rival of hers and this is all part of some bizarre revenge. It all ends in a super battle of the bands where Zanne loses it on stage, followed by Shannen saving the day by singing an acoustic number about the hypocrisy of consumerist culture or something like that.

This is currently our favorite Lifetime movie of all time. The main reason for this is that there are tons of "alternative rock" songs, all of which are bad and sung by Shannen in a flat monotone. Everyone takes these songs really seriously, but they are just awful. The best one is called "Can Anybody Hear Me? (Because I Don't)". We're just assuming that's the song title from the lyrics, despite the fact that it's grammatically incorrect. (Get a sample of the song stylings here). Look, this movie rules. If there was a soundtrack, we'd buy it.

RATING: 10. Next time this is on we're setting our VCR to "record."
