Another fine Rifkin film.

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 1999)

Detroit Rock City really exceeded my expectations. There's some great scenes in this film and they come together in a suprisingly cohesive way. The script was actually very funny - once the movie gets past an initial string of physical comedy bits that the actor can't carry that well (and shouldn't be expected to) there are some very funny lines and situations.
Special mention has to go to the soundtrack - most of the songs in the movie aren't on the disc (there must be 45 songs in the film).
Overall I thought it was a great summer movie, and I noticed a lot of Adam Rifkin/Rif Coogan signatures in the direction which added to the hilarity. If you liked this, be sure to check out The Invisible Maniac, which is in the same vein of humour (although in much worse taste in some ways).
