Review of Suck

Suck (2009)
7/10
Dracula meets Tenacious D
9 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The movie is basically about a rock and roll band ready to do anything for fame and success. Thats what the Plot summary read, and the first thing that popped into my mind was Tenacious D. The band is cute, and totally a local act in Montreal, until the bassie gets turned to a vampire. Which leads the band on a highway to hell, with murders to cover up, and gigs to perform. Most of the musical references made are hilarious and also serve as a modern day salute to the previous generation.

Alice Cooper and Iggy PoP out do themselves in the movie, in fact Alice's cameo in Wayne's World also was brilliant. Suck delivers and The Winners are an easily likable band, the movie is fast and to call it a musical also wouldn't be wrong. The song 'This is your Brain on Drugs' is surprisingly hilarious, and its physchedelic and trippy. All the characters share a good on screen chemistry and Eddie Van Helsing is just plain Hilarious.

On the whole, for all punk rock lovers out there, Henry Rollins as Rockin' Rogers is a must watch/listen too.
