Critic's Review

Story: Sherrie Christian (Julianne Hough), a small town girl, meets Drew Boley (Diego Boneta), falls in love with him... and takes up a job with him at the Bourbon Room. But then it's curtain call for the Bourbon Room. Even its owner Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) cannot do much to save it.

Enter famed and fortuned Stacee Jax (Tom Cruise), a 24X7 high-on-booze rock star, whose single performance at the Bourbon Room can save the Rock and Roll bar. But then he has issues of his own to deal with.

So who will save the Bourbon Room? How? And will rock music rock forever?

Movie Review: Tom Cruise as rock star of the 80s? Mission Accomplished! How else do you explain Ethan Hunt in total control... this time cruising along with his long mane, outlandish outfit and head banging moves. Tom Cruise fans, your hero has perhaps never looked (and been) so eccentric, dirty, sweaty, and of course, wild.

Not to say, the others lag behind. There is Alec Baldwin and his business partner Lonny (Russell Brand) who leave no stone unturned when it comes to giving you that extra dose of laughter... with an extra dose of surprise! Funny. Next, there is the politically motivated protest, led by Patricia Whitmore (Catherine Zeta-Jones) being held outside the Bourbon bar in order to 'clean society of rock and roll' stuff. Ironically, Zeta is seen salivating the most when it comes to getting a hand or two literally on the rock star. Funny. Finally, it's Julianna and Diego who take us through romance of the 80s... when love was all about sweet nothings... against the background of the iconic Hollywood logo.

As for the storyline, Rock of Ages is based on the famous Broadway Musical and is set in 1987. So you should know what to expect. Don't go looking for a great plot and something you have never seen before. Of course, making up for that is the setting of the then LA, generously peppered with Rock's greatest anthems... featuring the music by Poison, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Guns N' Roses, Journey, Foreigner... and many more....

Tip off: If head banging music, hilarious one liners, love with no strings attached... and kohl eyed Tom Cruise as rock god is dope enough for you, rest assured: you're sure to get your money's worth.
