Eddie chooses wisely yet again

Rating: 7/10 (12 August 2003)

I am what you could consider an Edward Furlong fan, since I rent or tape any film of his I come across. This does not mean though that I'm a die hard fan with articles and posters and stuff. I just think that he's a pretty good actor who chooses his projects wisely. He certainly did so in choosing this film, for Detroit Rock City has a lot of quality. It is funny, it has good rock tunes and the story also holds a few surprises. This is not to say that everything is good here. Sometimes the film is a little bit over the top and I did not like the ending very much (too predictable contrary to the rest of the film), which was somewhat of a bummer for me. The rest is good though if you can appreciate rock music (hear out for some REAL rock classics) or if or if you enjoy Jay and Silent Bob films, for this comes very close to being one. There might not be as much sex talk as in a Jay and Silent Bob film, but experience-wise it sure comes in the vicinity of those films. Imagine a mixture Mallrats and That 70's Show and you've got DETROIT ROCK CITY.

7,25 out of 10
