If you were a teenager in the 70's then you remember.

Rating: Null/10 (12 January 2000)

I always like to watch these comedies that take place in the 70's because that's when I was a teenager. Some get it right, others fall short of the mark. Dazed and Confused is the most vivid 70's movie I've seen. This one is entertaining in its own silly way, but doesn't quite get it right in some areas. In the 70's, many of us considered KISS to be a joke, and those kids who were into KISS were basically dweebs who were trying to be cool...most of the kids who really wanted to rock liked Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Nugent, UFO, etc. And who could forget Van Halen's debut album. But that aside, this movie is not so much about KISS, but about rock fans in that era, and the excitement of going to one of their concerts, whoever the band might be. The film does capture that goofy excitement, like pulling up to the concert hall and seeing the marquee outside, and the crowds, like one big party. The story is basically of four friends trying to score tickets to get in the show, who have comical, but far-fetched experiences in trying to obtain them. One other thing the movie does touch on, and it was a big 70's thing, was the rock and roll vs. disco scene. I remember me and my friends HATING disco, and those guys hated us, but we didn't care.
