Tom Cruise, Russell Brand, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti and Bryan Cranston join songstress sensation Mary J. Blige and Dancing with the Stars' Julianne Hough in this film adaptation of the smash-hit Broadway musical that does with 80s rock anthems what Mamma Mia did with Abba tunes. Directed and choreographed by Hairspray's Adam Shankman, this hard-rocking musical tells the story of small-town girl Sherrie (Hough) and city boy Drew (newcomer Diego Boneta) who meet on the Sunset Strip while pursuing their Hollywood dreams. Their rock 'n' roll romance is told through the heart-pounding hits of Def Leppard, Journey, Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar amongst other power ballads.

Critics Consensus: Its exuberant silliness is almost enough to make up for its utter inconsequentiality, but Rock of Ages is ultimately too bland and overlong to justify its trip to the big screen.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The best musicals are those with songs that develop naturally within a story instead of obligatorily filling every moment with yet another song. This is not one of them.

An abundance of energy makes up for the unconvincing lip-syncing and spontaneous song-and-dance sequences that aren't as smoothly integrated into character actions.

Serves up well played cover tunes and an abundance of entertainment of the light, campy variety.

There's enthusiasm and energy here that balances out the more blatant weirdness and absurdity.
