Its Coyote Ugly with some major stars in minor subplots added in. If you think random people bursting out in song, outdated pop songs, is so funny that the joke never gets tired, ... even over 2 hours, then this is your "guy gets hit in the nuts". The moral to the story is that as bad as hair metal is boy bands are still worse. This film is very careful to avoid even the slightest hint of Grunge music so the viewer isn't reminded that they actually hate hair metal. Hollywood is so much cooler these days.

For those mentioned it doesn't appear to have been a one time situation where they pushed the envelope. If it wasn't that time it may have been the next or the time after that. The supports that people with addiction have today didn't exist back then. Probably a great deal of harsh stuff we don't know about these people beyond the mythology?
