Product Description:
A COPY MACHINE REPAIRMAN'S WORLD IS ROCKED WHEN HE'S TAPPED TO BE THE NEW SINGER FOR HIS FAVORITE BAND. A KNOWING, FUNNY LOOK AT '80S METALHEAD ROCK AND THE PRICE OF FAME.
Amazon.com:
If you've ever indulged a rock & roll fantasy, Rock Star willgive you the vicarious thrill of seeing that fantasy come to life. That's whathappens when talented tribute-band singer Chris Cole (Mark Wahlberg) is tappedto replace his idol as frontman for 1980s metal gods Steel Dragon. Chris becomesthe groupie-laden "Izzy," his manager girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston) grows wearyof sex 'n' drugs on tour, and Rock Star plays out its utterlyconventional plot line. Despite the casting of real rockers to support Wahlberg'sunderrated performance (nicely matched by Aniston and Timothy Spall as SteelDragon's road manager), his character is too rigidly written to follow anobligatory rise and fall, and even its basis in fact (inspired by Tim "Ripper"Owens's recruitment into Judas Priest) can't conceal the movie's predictableformula. As a cautionary tale it's routine, but as a leather-pants love story,Rock Star's got enough good karma to keep its dream alive. --JeffShannon

Rating: - We are NOT a cover band, we're a TRIBUTE band!
