Great, fabulous 80’s music! Being a gal born in the 80’s, I loved it! Hubby loved it! We both agreed newer generations probably wouldn’t get it because it’s not the music they are used to, but dang, we loved the music and cannot wait for the soundtrack to come out! There were a couple story lines to follow and they were predictable, but the music, oh, the music. I’m going to admit, the story line… wasn’t the greatest. It also has some great cameos, although I only recognized two: Constantine Maroulis (best known as an American Idol Season 4 contestant) and Sebastian Bach (former lead singer of Skid Row). Blige (singer, guest coach this year on The Voice) Catherine Zeta Jones (Chicago, The Legend of Zorro) and Paul Giamatti (Duets, Big Fat Liar). It had an impressive cast: Julianne Hough (Dancing with the Stars, Footloose) Diego Boneta (90210, Pretty Little Liars) Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek) Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) Tom Cruise (Top Gun, Mission Impossible) Mary J. The comedy wasn’t a lot, but when it was there – it was there (hubby was literally laughing out loud at the comedic parts). The drama wasn’t bad, definitely a musical and a good romance, but not a chick flick romance (at least I didn’t think so!) According to IMDB (my fave go-to source for all things television and movie), Rock of Ages is a comedy, drama, musical and romance. I was embarrassed that I had to ask if it was a musical, but I was informed that yes, indeed, it was a musical. When I was provided the opportunity to watch it and review it, I figured, it couldn’t hurt, right? I literally had no desire to watch it and I had no idea what it was about. I hadn’t heard much about it other than it was a Tom Cruise movie (and I am no Tom Cruise fan as of late).
I had zero, zilch, nada, absolutely no intentions of watching Rock of Ages.
