Rock of Ages 2012 : Movie Review

This is a film adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical `Rock of Ages`. This is the story of small town girl Sherrie and city boy Drew, who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock`n` roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Joan Jett, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Night Ranger, REOSpeedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Poison, Whitesnake, and more.

Tom Cruise emerges from a sea of half naked female bodies wearing a cod piece and butt-less leather pants. Obviously piss drunk, he blabbers on only to reinforce his rockstar status. What better way to personify the rockstars of the 80’s?

What “Rock of Ages” offers is full volume nostalgia with its interpretation of the classics of the 80’s rock sensations as well as the lifestyle of that era. The veterans of the 80s would smile at the song selection while cult fanatics would mouth every memorized verse written in stone by rock Gods like Def Leppard, G N R, Bon Jovi, Poison and many more!

“This place is about to become a sea of sweat, earth shattering music and puke”, says Alec Baldwin in one of his yet again must-see performances.

So if you’re a rock fanatic or a crazy Tom Cruise fan, it’s an absolute must watch. If you love musicals and love stories, it’s a must watch. If you’re a fan of none of the above, it’s still a must watch.

 A brilliant 123 minute adaptation of the highly acclaimed Broadway musical of the same name- it simply “makes you wanna rock”.
