Enjoyed it, even though I dislike KISS

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2002)

Detroit Rock City was surprisingly enjoyable film. The storyline was solid, as we follow the 4 teenagers trying to get to a KISS concert, while everyone of them has their own version of coming into adulthood, confronted by their biggest fears and dreams. Not enjoying KISS didn't ruin the film for me, though I surely would have enjoyed it more without that music blasting throughout the film. Edward Furlong also proved to me, that he is an actor worth watching, and hopefully we will see much more of him in the future. The only downside for me was when their stupidity took over, especially during the driving to the concert, and couple of rather unrealistic scenes which I felt were unnecessary. The story had such a good base and comedy in itself that it didn't need to resort to some silly scenes to be funny. 7/10
