Pretty good, if we forget the music

Rating: 7/10 (24 November 2001)

I went to see Rock Star with the fear that it was another shallow and overhyped movie, but fortunately I was wrong. It's curious I have enjoyed the film, although I have found the music pretty bad (Too loud and tasteless). Anyway, I guess not all music-related movies can have such good songs like Good Fellas or Almost Famous.
Certainly, I wasn't expecting for a fine movie starring Jennifer Aniston, and this has been the exception. To be honest, I thought she had forgotten how to act due to the unjustified pile of money she is getting for playing Rachel in the now-pathetic sitcom Friends.
As for Mark Walhberg, I had seen him for the first time in The Yards, a really GREAT thriller.
To sum up, Rock Star is a good way to spend one and a half-hours. It's not making it to my Top Ten but it's ok. To me, the weak point is the music.
7/10.
