Entertaining

Rating: 2/10 (22 September 2012)

Caught bits and scenes of this movie on YouTube and thought I would give it a try, as I tend to like anything that gives you retro pop culture and guilty pleasure pop songs in the mix. Other reviews I've read about it said that it could really only be enjoyed and appreciated by a true Kiss fan. Meh, I tend to disagree. I'm not what you would call a fan of their music. I was unable to remember the band's real names during the radio contest scene. But to say this is a movie about Kiss and for it to be treated as a movie about Kiss is like saying Wayne's World was a movie about Alice Cooper, as you only see the band perform on stage for a few minutes out of the whole movie. No, this movie is about four boys who are die hard fans of Kiss and go to great lengths to finally see their heroes live. Overall, I found it entertaining enough for an evening of mindless movie watching. It helped that Eddie Furlong was cute as hell in this one. Like the lady in the It's Raining Men club, I also saw him as a perfect example of one of those teenage boys who will make an older woman want to get a hot young man's "coming-of-age" started on the right foot, lol. And if you watch the movie, you will see that the previous was an unintentional pun on what happens in the key scene between Eddie and that lady. If you want to laugh, watch this. And if you're a die hard Kiss fan also, you'll probably enjoy this. If you like 70's pop culture references, then you'll be in heaven.
