Editorial Review:
A COPY MACHINE REPAIRMAN'S WORLD IS ROCKED WHEN HE'S TAPPED TOBE THE NEW SINGER FOR HIS FAVORITE BAND. A KNOWING, FUNNY LOOKAT '80S METALHEAD ROCK AND THE PRICE OF FAME.
Description of Rock Star:
If you've ever indulged a rock & roll fantasy, Rock Star will give you the vicarious thrill of seeing that fantasy come to life. That's what happens when talented tribute-band singer Chris Cole (Mark Wahlberg) is tapped to replace his idol as frontman for 1980s metal gods Steel Dragon. Chris becomes the groupie-laden "Izzy," his manager girlfriend (Jennifer Aniston) grows weary of sex 'n' drugs on tour, and Rock Star plays out its utterly conventional plot line. Despite the casting of real rockers to support Wahlberg's underrated performance (nicely matched by Aniston and Timothy Spall as Steel Dragon's road manager), his character is too rigidly written to follow an obligatory rise and fall, and even its basis in fact (inspired by Tim "Ripper" Owens's recruitment into Judas Priest) can't conceal the movie's predictable formula. As a cautionary tale it's routine, but as a leather-pants love story, Rock Star's got enough good karma to keep its dream alive. --Jeff Shannon
Rock Star Reviews:
Great movie for 80's generation! 
2009-11-17 - Rockstar is hilarious and very entertaining. Me and all my friends absolutely love this movie! If you grew up during the 80's you will really appreciate this movie.
Pretty Entertaining 
2009-11-14 - I've watch this movie many times before on VCD and HBO, and now I finally have it on DVD thanks to Amazon.com. The movie itself is pretty entertaining to watch and a bit funny, though. It's kinda one of those fantasy-like movie that brings your imagination comes to life. In this case, becoming a rockstar of your favorite rock band. There's also a love story alongside the story, a conflict within the band, and also girlfriend, and of course a great performance by Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston. It's a comforting movie to watch and definitely the one you don't wanna miss!!
AWESOME!!
2009-10-30 - My husband and i LOVE this movie!! It's one that you can watch over and over and never get sick of.
Awesome movie!
2009-08-12 - This is one of my favorite movies.
A wannabe singer from a so called tribute band to the steel dragons leads the lead singer to replace the former vocalist from the steel dragons and to become the new member cause of his talented singing. Mark walberg and jennifer aniston were great in this movie.
Highly recommended for hard rockers!
Rock Star Rocks
2009-07-11 - This movie is a different approach to the behind scenes of a rock star life-Its not all glamourous but it is certainly one hell of a ride!
