NOT a metal movie

Rating: 2/10 (21 January 2005)

Marky Mark is the lead singer in a cover band and gets to play with the band he worships after the fire their lead singer in this dud 'inspired VERY loosely by' the story of Tim Owens of Judas Priest. The basic story of guy craves fame, gets it, screws a transvestite, parties, loses girl, quits band to cut his hair and become a poof in a coffeehouse band, gets girl back, the end. There are so many things that don't work well in this movie. Jennifer Aniston is miscast. The ending is the biggest pile of horse manure.And you don't make a movie about metal and then have a lame soundtrack, among other things. Writer John Stockwell wrote Cheaters and Blue Crush so in retrospect it's no surprise that this movie blows. The only good parts were some of the acting, and that Zakk Wylde is in it. That's pretty much it.
