Not THAT bad...but just not that good!

Rating: Null/10 (15 October 2000)

Following in the trend of 'Dazed and Confused', 'American Pie' and other teen comedies to arise, 'Detroit Rock City starts off well but seems to falter towards the end!
There are some genuinely funny moments in this; particularly from a character called Trip. Edward Furlong is okay, especially funny during the crude moments. I don't mind toilet humour, but this film seemed to rely on the few moments it did have 'good laughs' to make the whole film funny! In other words, laughs are few and far between, and without some deep insight into trends, characters or the period; this film becomes pointless. Overall, it just seemed like a huge KISS promotion, but it had it's moments!I'm being generous here, 'Detroit Rock City' gets a **1/2 out of *****!
