...Madonna and Jackson retreated to some celebrity inner sanctum with security befitting a visiting Pope, but the young garage-band superstars -- Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Spin Doctors -- were as ingenuous and casual as their audience. Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was mistaken for a nobody until he produced his all- access laminated pass for an effusively apologetic security guard. When his wife Courtney Love appeared with their infant daughter, she pleaded with the paparazzi, "Hold it, my baby needs some psychic space."

Almost everything about this movie feels like a first draft -- unfelt, unformed, unfinished. And it's not entirely Singleton's fault. As it so often does, Hollywood has mistaken bright promise for full-fledged talent, rushing in to indulge a young artist's self-indulgences, giving him everything he wants but withholding the one thing he needs most: firm but sympathetic challenges to his assumptions, an insistence on rethinking and rewriting until he knows what he wants to say and how to say it right...
