A fun hard rock fairy tale.

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 2018)

This film seems to cop a lot of flak but I am not sure if it is because people don't get it. This is what the 80's was like, excess and indulgence in spades.
A tribute band singer (Wahlberg) is thrown out of his band and gets a call from the band Steel Dragon that he has spent so much admiring. They want him to audition as they have also just sacked their singer.
And so Cinderella as it were gets to go to the ball. Madness ensues as he becomes more and more immersed in the hard rock lifestyle.
There isn't much to the film but in the end you either enjoy the hard rock music and cliches or you don't.
I loved it all. A shame music can't be this much fun anymore.
The film also has many 80's rockers playing parts as musicians which makes it even more fun for us fans.
