Plot

Molly Gunn (Brittany Murphy) is a spoiled rock n' roll girl, living off the ample trust fund of her late rock legend father. Molly is carefree and fun-spirited but also can be irresponsible and immature, having no concept of money or the need to work for it.

Molly instantly falls for singer Neal Fox. Huey says Neal is celibate for the sake of his musical career, and Ingrid also tries to discourage her, but Molly sees Neal as a "rock-and-roll-poet-sex god" and begins to pursue him. She proves she's Tommy Gunn's daughter by showing Neal her father's guitar collection, 16 electric and 1 acoustic on which he wrote the classic "Molly Smiles". The song is too poignant for Molly to let Neal sing it to her, because her parents died on the way back from the Budokan concert which premiered it.
