The movie is getting bashed but most of the people doing the bashing aren't giving it a chance. Yes, it's a Broadway style musical in movie format and the stars do their own vocals with moderate success, but it also documents the end of an era, the end of the 80s rock star, the wild hotel trashing party life, and the end of a decent guitar solo in a song for the next 12 years. That's what the movie is really about. Online posters are saying Cruise is too old and too much of a jerk to play a young rock star. He isn't playing a young rock star, he's playing an aging, burnt out, older star who's just realizing he may not be relevant anymore. By the end of the movie he has an epiphany and turns himself around. Tons of cool 80s songs. Me and my kids loved it.
Pros great story, great actors, great music, funny
Cons julianne h as lead
Yes, I recommend this movie.
