gives you that 'special' feeling

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2000)

'Detroit Rock City' was the coolest movie I saw in '99. I was shocked to see it only grossed $4 million at the box-office, which makes it the lowest grossing movie I've ever seen i the theaters, that I know of. But who gives a damn!!!!
Of course, it's pretty popular to make a raunchy teenage-boy movie starring 4 teenage best friends. But this time, instead of the boys searching for a dead body, trying to rid their football coach, lose their virginity, or drive cross country to intercept a sex-tape, their trying to get into the biggest concert of the year. But what I liked about this movie over the other raunch fests is that this took place over 20 years ago, in a time of teens I knew so little about. I heard the original production plan was to set the movie in present-day, and have the guys going to Detroit to see Kid Rock AND Eminem. That would have been a HUGE mistake. One wannabe-black white guy is bad enough, but two is enough to make me wanna go on a killing spree, terminating all white guys who think they're black.
But enough about poseurs. I saw this movie with my friend, my brother, and my dad. If my dad thinks one of my favorite movies is funny, it's funny. After seeing it, I just wanted to go out and start my own band, which I've already tried several times, unsuccessfully. I hope Edward Furlong, Sam Huntington, James DeBello, and Guiseppe Andrews go on to bigger projects, but hold this movie as the most underrated, coolest gem of the '99, right up there with 'SLC Punk'.
