This is a
collection of pop hit songs from a stage
play transformed into a big screen movie called Rock of Ages.
It's the same old story of boy meets girl, but don't worry about the plot, you don't need any; you just need to enjoy the film whose every scene is built around a classic 1980 soft rock classic song. Tom Cruise plays a mystic over-the-top super rock star -- having more fun than he has allowed himself in years. Just enjoy a great time at the movies. The cast and music is well worth the price of a ticket. |
Rock of Ages has
enough 80s cheese to fulfill
most nostalgic dreams -- but it's Tom Cruise's
performance as rock legend Stacee
Jaxx that makes the trip worthwhile. The plot is simple: small town girl comes to Hollywood to fulfill her dream to become a singer, meets the boy of her dreams, and duets follow. It is well directed by Hairspray choreographer Adam Shankman. It's a kitschy trip back in rock & roll history. |
The big thing that
I thought was ridiculous in
this version of the Broadway musical was when the
two stars sing in one
ultra-romantic duet. They sing and do a striptease to the song I Want to Know What Love Is at the same time. I think somebody missed the boat with this mental impression. It's a crazy concept to mix striptease with that song. |
