as this movie proves, the '70s will NEVER die

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2005)

One of the great things about movies that look at times past is the way they poke fun at individuals who didn't get into popular culture. In this case, four friends in 1970s Michigan worship KISS, but one's mother is a fundamentalist Christian who believes that KISS stands for "Knights In Satan's Service".
In a way, "Detroit Rock City" is sort of an excuse to be crazy. Whether it's the scene where the four friends hide out in the girls' bathroom and listen to the girl in the neighboring stall, or the part where they finally arrive at KISS's concert, this movie has something for everyone. Everyone who loves the '70s, that is.
