This Rock Musical is an adaptation of the popular stage show set in the late 1980s. This gives it an excuse to show 80s fashion and feature 80s rock hits all mixed up with a cheesy Boy meets Girl love story.
The love story is predictable, in fact even the side stories are predictable but the cast give it gusto from Tom Cruise, Catherine Zeta Jones to Alec Baldwin.
Cruise plays an Axl Rose/Bret Michaels type rock star in a glorified cameo. His singing one suspects had Auto-tuning involved.
However it is the songs that sells this film, ranging from 'We built this City' to 'Don't stop Believing.'
The film is a cheesefest but it is an enjoyable one. It might not rival Grease but a lot of thought has been put into bringing this to the screen.
