I don't "get " the focus on plot and antics that some of the more "serious" reviewers are stroking themselves with. This music and that of the late 60's and early 70's helped me as a beleaguered working mom "Rock" through a day of commutes, housework, and culture shock.
This movie features the memorable music of the decade that my grandson is now still honoring. It features a period of Rock (1987) when the genre was flanked by inane crap "music" aimed at the 13-16 year olds I was raising. It put me right in the Bourbon Room audience, blithely wearing the tasteless and bizarre outfits that I couldn't wear because I was setting a standard of decorum for my kids in those days, and embarrassing them was anathema. I'm 60, I want to have some fun, and this movie was fun. but if you grew up in the 80s, you should appreciate the music, fun and experience portrayed in this movie. If rock is not your choice of music, skip this movie. With so much rubbish coming out of Hollywood to keep the nay-sayers busy with their critical reviews, this is a refreshing change. I dare you to not sing along with some of those classics. A good couple of chuckles in there, and if you're over 35 years old. This movie is THE musical for all rockers out there! Absolutely wonderful fun for the family, with a stellar performance from the entire cast. This movie is good fun, and true to the times. And quite frankly, you need to have a serious problem if you are analyzing the actors voices with respect to the original artists. Reviewers posting they walked out after 15 minutes, really shouldn't contribute here. This movie isn't called Rap of Ages or Pop of Ages or R&B of Ages or Classical Music for the Ages. If you love rock, and grew up with 80s rock, this movie is for you.
Eventually I caved, and all I can say is that I absolutely loved the movie! My wife loved the movie, but in all honesty, our 10 year old thought it was OK - purely because she didn't know any of the songs. So, even though my friends encouraged me to watch this movie, I resisted. I did not grow up in LA, or the States for that matter, but I most certainly grew up with just about every song played in this movie. To give context, I grew up in the 80s and 90s, and pretty much know all the songs backwards - surprisingly. I feel compelled to submit a review for this movie, purely because some of the atrocious reviews I've seen contributed by others.
