Wahlberg rocks, the rest sucks.

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2002)

This movie seemed like a little bit "Boogie Nights", a little bit "Saturday Night Fever" and a little bit "The Doors", but it definitely had very little original going for it. Mark Wahlberg played the identical role that he had in "Boogie Nights" and he played it the same way, nice kid, eager to please, making the audience root for him to succeed. He is pleasing to look at and truly a talented performer, so that was the high point, but other than his performance, there is very little meat in this film and at the end, when we have all gotten our lesson in rock and roll debauchery, we are sent on our way with little return for our buck. I would say skip this one and go rent "Boogie Nights", which is a better film with some outstanding performances.
