I haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

Rating: 5/10 (10 September 2001)

I was taken to this movie against my will, however, I was glad once it was over. Clocking in at almost 2 hours long, I was glad when it was over because I thought I was going to hurt myself from laughing so hard. The laughter came from the campiness of the film, not out of sarcasm. This film doesn't take itself seriously, which is it's saving grace. If you were active into movies and music in the 80's, you will appreciate what I think this movie is trying to get across which is nostalgia with humor and music. From the lead actors obsessive compulsive fascination with the band and lead singer of the group which he has formed a 'tribute band' for (which everyone else calls a cover band much to his dismay) to the movies' rock opera-ish metal songs with the 'rock chix' that flared back in the 80's to the films soundtrack featuring Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, Talking Heads, Def Leppard, and other of your shameful dusty favorites (you've sung them at karaoke night in the pub..admit it). I laughed so hard at the pseudo-serious drama that I thought I would hurt myself at times. A little long, but a fun film for nostalgia sake.
