Three Chords and a Wardrobe
1998-01-01 · 11 min · ★ 3.7
Rachel and Nick are your model, contemporary relationship. They're young, hip, creative and independent. In the end, they can't escape the basic differences between men and women. In '90s psycho-babble jargon - women are from Venus and men are from Mars. And in this relationship, Mars needs guitars and a chart-topping hit song without any silly domestic interruptions. Venus needs consideration, understanding and a hand changing a light fitting in the kitchen. So when Nick goes in search of the perfect sound and Rachel has an axe to grind - the Gulf War is about to begin. They say all you need is three chords and a wardrobe and you've got the perfect song...relationships aren't so easy.
