I didn't know what to expect with this film, I thought it was going to be a spoof, maybe a modern day 'Spinal Tap' or an out and out cheese-fest that was way to hard to believe. But I was suprised, Jennifer Aniston and Mark Wahlberg put in good performances and, yes, that word again, believable performances.
It's the story of a wannabe (80's) rockstar who actually got to be when he replace his idol to front his favourite rock band; whose songs he covers in his own 'tribute band'. Along the way, of course, he faced with decisions who he is and who he has become -- all along the way with a humorous undertone.
A thoroughly enjoybale film with some good performances, but if that doesn't tickle you fancy, Jennifer Aniston looks hot, as always, in it. . .
I've bought this film mostly because the music. I've seen it some time ago on the telly and i couldn't get the tunes out of my head so added the movie to my collection. If rock is your cup of cake than Rock star is worth a shot.
I first watched this film when i was about 10 so i liked but i didnt love it. I watched it yesterday, 8 years after i first watched it, and realised that this film is the best. The music is awesome especially "stand up and shout" and the cast are simply amazing..they even went as far as getting john bonham's son, jason, to play the drums in the band "steel dragon" which the film is about. The film was also based around the band, judas priest. I highly recommend this film to anyone even if youre not particularly into rock music because it was made to show the time when 80's metal was best and how to live like a rockstar.
I bought this dvd for my daughter. I already owned it and she borrowed it off me and watched it over and over, till i almost had to force her to give it back. It's pure fantasy, we'd all like to be our favourite celebrity for awhile, but it's a case of 'be careful what you wish for!' There's some great rock music in the film. Jennifer Aniston plays the long-suffering girlfriend. It's a great film, not to be missed, especially if you're into rock. I've since bought my daughter her own copy!
I saw this movie on tv once and I knew I had to buy it on DVD! The cast is great Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Anistan put on their best performances yet. The film is based on a guy (Mark Wahlberg) who loves a band so much he ends up joining the band but believe me he never would have thought he'd get the chance, but through easy times and hard times his girlfriend (Jennifer Anistan) was always there and on top of a true kicking rock movie it is also love filled. I personally reccomend this film to anybody. Trust me you won't be dissapointed.
Great story of a singer of a tribute band who becomes the singer in the real band after the original singer quits.This is loosely based on the Judas Priest story.Great performance from Mark Whalberg in the lead role and also from Jennifer Anniston and Timothy Spall(always great) in support roles.Great music and a good entertaining film.
