Rock Star

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Drama
Let's rawk!

Ah, eighties poodle rock/hair metal/whatever. I will confess a liking for the louder forms of rock, but never adopted the look. This film is about an aging british rock band who take on a singer from a tribute band when their front man quits. It's a bit of a fairy tale as the young fan becomes the thing he worships. But will he be happy?

It's a bit of light fun. Marky Mark tries a different style of music and where else can you see Jennifer Aniston and Timothy Spall in the same film?

It explores the rock and roll lifestyle in all it's excessive glory. Read 'Hammer of the Gods' to learn about the real thing as done by Led Zeppelin.

Details here.

It's available to loan from my DVD library. I actually won it in an on-line competition ages ago, but just got around to it.
