![]() ![]() I'm sure there are people who actively seek out those types of movies, but I just haven't met any. Wild performances, drugs, booze, blackout parties, sex, more sex, and Mark Wahlberg. Rock Star is everything you'd expect in a movie about a, well, rock star. Okay, let's be honest: The only reason anyone would sit through this movie is because she has a huge crush on Mark Wahlberg. Reviewed by HotToastyRag 1 / 10 Pretty bad, only for Marky Mark fans In the end, I enjoyed Wahlberg's commitment to his character. It feels very superficial and not gritty enough. The story is just too filled with clichés for me to take seriously. Falling off the stairs could have been funny but it's played very seriously. What this movie needs is a lot more jokes. ![]() ![]() It's an earnest recreation like a tribute band. There are some rocking music even if Marky Mark doesn't do the singing. She isn't doing anything out of her comfort zone. Mark Wahlberg has good likability as the dreamer and does a good rock star imitation. Then a surprise call from Steel Dragon guitarist Kirk Cuddy (Dominic West) for Chris to audition for the band as he fires the lead singer Bobby Beers. After an on stage fight with his guitarist Rob (Timothy Olyphant), he is kicked out of the band as they want to start playing their own music. He repairs copying machines and still lives at home. His girlfriend Emily Poule (Jennifer Aniston) is his biggest fan. Chris Cole (Mark Wahlberg) idolizes the band Steel Dragon and works tirelessly to emulate them in a tribute band.

The protagonist walks away having learned several life lessons but the viewer (Or rather in this viewers case) it felt more empty than it should have. The films construction is my biggest grip, it comes across more like a Behind the Music episode than an actual movie. The construction of a movie is simple, you need a beginning a middle and an end and Rock Star has that but in a rather disjointed way. It's big, it's stylish and to my knowledge it's pretty damn accurate so why am I not rating this higher? I like the cast, I'm an old school rocker myself and on paper this should be a guaranteed tick in the win column from me. As you'd imagine being a movie about classic/glam rock the soundtrack is fantastic, right up there among the best of them though shatter any illusions you may have that it was Wahlberg singing. Starring Mark Wahlberg, Jennifer Aniston, Timothy Spall and Timthy Olyphant it certainly doesn't lack star power. ![]() Rock Star tells the story of the lead singer of a tribute band who get's to live out his dreams on a much grander stage.
