In other news, check out Rock of Ages. I admit, its a juke box musical, but there's a reason for that: it is celebrating the 80's. It's not artistic or pretentious and its got an energy that few films can match. Also, if you want to see some famous actors sing and don't want to spend a hundred bucks on a movie ticket, check it out. Right now.
I admit, the beginning isn't as strong as the end, and the songs at the start (like many other musicals) have the tendency to come out of nowhere, but the movie makes up for it by having every single song being awesome. That's right, there isn't a single song that sucks accidentally. (For songs sucking on purpose, see Undercover Love. You can tell why the band that plays it gets forcibly removed from the stage.)
In short, if you want to see
- Really good song and dance numbers
- Fun (if not award-winning) acting
- Something that makes you feel nostalgic for 80's rock
- Tom Cruise act crazy
- Tom Cruise without a shirt
- Catherine Zeta-Jones singing
- Strippers
