Metal mania

Rating: 4/10 (21 July 2006)

Jennifer Aniston is mildly annoying as a girl who believes with all heart that her boyfriend (Mark Wahlberg in a bad wig)who is in a tribute band to a famous metal band will someday hit the big time. Dominic West (who gave a truly awful performance in "The Forgotten") as an obnoxious guitarist is the best thing about this movie, believe it or not. Wahlberg and Aniston both phone in their performances, which flat out stink.
Both unbelievable and ridiculous, this movie tries to be nostalgic for the hard-rocking, more innocent times of the 80's, when all people wanted to do was rock and roll. But it falls embarrassingly short, and the story falls apart.
Only loyal Aniston and Wahlberg fans will want to watch this movie, although it is good for some (unintentional) laughs.
