The American Elections are over so now it's time to relax and grab your hairspray and your leopard print Jeans and sit down on your sofa and listen to some ROCK!!!!
Take yourself back to 1987, the bright lights of the Sunset Strip and the sweat and mess of a rock club that has seen it all Rock And Roll Wise!
Staring Tom Cruise as Stacey Jaxx, Catherine Zita Jones Politician's wife with a big axe to grind, Julianne Hough as Small Town Girl Sherrie and the newest hottest film star Diego Boneta as Drew a City Boy Chasing the Rock God Dream!
This film is a love story intertwined in the classic Rock sound track at it's heart is the anthem that is Journey's 'Don't Stop Believin' (Made famous to a new generation by of course the Glee cast which is not Rock and Roll) with hints of Def Leppard, Guns and Roses, Bon Jovi and Whitesnake thrown in!
Anyway onto the plot- Small town girl Sherrie moves to LA in search of Fame and Fortune with her Rock LP's in toe. She ends up in LA wide eyed and happy only to get her records stole by a local.
City Boy Drew (originally from Boston not LA) also has come to LA in search of fame and fortune and follow in the footsteps of some of the rock gods by working in the a bar that has launched so many careers, When he see's Sherrie getting her vinyl stolen he goes straight her rescue (again the old clique in movie narrative the princess and the hero!) and brings her into the bar and tries to convince his boss Dennis (Alec Baldwin) to give her a job which with some persuading from Sherrie herself offers her a job.
From this soon a love story begins, but not is all well as Catherine Zita Jones's character is a women on a mission, the new LA Mayor's wife she is on a quest to get rid of the 'seedy' appearance of the strip and get it back to what it should be in her opinion. Her character is a traditional conservative republican wife that thinks that Rockers and Rock music is dirty and disgusting(Hey Rock is meant to spin a few heads, but in the 80's they didn't have Slipknot or Marilyn Manson) and that the children of LA shouldn't have to grow up in that environment.
The film itself is fast paced, slick and glitzy with all the Hollywood shine or is that all the hairspray fumes going around. Unlike your traditional musical film it is different with Sweaty Hot Scenes not seen since the Moulin Rouge which was steamy enough have we seen scenes like that.
Anyway enough said!
This film will go down a treat with the speakers turned up, the lights down low, air guitar on stand by and of course a lighter for those slow songs!!!!
A one to watch!
