This film takes you back to the 80s, the days of hair metal and tells the story of a hard rock singer becoming the new lead of his favorite band. While the movie takes its time to introduce the tribute band he is starting with and his actual time on top of the game feels a bit ru...( read more)

I have to admit, I expected to hate it, which I didn't. I set the bar low, and enjoyed it for the most part: it's fraught with irritating melo...( read more)
One of the most powerful and accurate movies on rockstars. Wahlberg and Olyphant are making this film work.
Another typical rockstar backstage life type movie, and nothing else. It wasn't bad, but it isn't a movie that would last 10mins in my head after leaving the theater. Didn't think Wahlberg was good for the role; he lacked the core of what it means to be a rockstar; attitude. Ever...( read more)
Note to all Flixster people; this actually happened with the rock band "Journey". They saw a fan's YouTube of their performance, and now the guy is their lead singer. ^^

An irresistible movie about a guy who goes on a journey, the kind an audience can't wait to take with him. full review

The movie is all formula. But then, so is Jack Daniel's. full review
Has enough wit and insight to make it worth watching. full review
A movie lampooning dimwitted '80s heavy-metal rockers was already made much more cleverly. It was called This Is Spinal Tap. full review
Can't disguise the bogus core of the script. full review
Nice. Somebody heard me. Twas funny tho. It's also quite funny that her videos are also on this page.
The best thing about this movie is that Jeff Pilson from dokken is the bazeplayer of steel dragon!
great movie loosely based on judas priest when there singer left the group they picked a singer from a tribute band just like in the movie one of the best soundtracks
the only thing bad about this movie was seeing marky mark try and act like a rocker...... very lame!!!
Zakk Wylde was in this movie, yeah, *the* Zakk Wylde. The best part of the whole fucking movie, and no one says anything about it.
