Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages (2012) is a musical movie using 80's music.  It stars Diego Boneta as Drew, who is an aspiring singer trying to get his band famous.  The love interst and Drew's muse is Sherrie (Julianne Hough), who is a small town girl looking for a new life in Los Angeles.  Many stars have graced this movie, including Alec Baldwin (Dennis), who runs the bar that Drew and Sherrie work, his assistant, Lonnie (Russell Brand), Patricia (Catherine Zeta-Jones), who wants to shut down the bar, and the star that everyone wants to be Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise). 

Overall, the movie is a very well done musical.  The movie is true to all musicals, where every other statement ends up in a musical outburst, and there is always one love song that has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, but without it, you could not classify it as a musical.  They even have a few songs that are entertwined together, which sound great.  I was impressed how well all of the stars sang, and belted out their 80's rock ballads.  The only thing that I wish they would have done was to have given the stars slightly larger hair.

 Should kids go see this movie?  I would say this movie is not suitable to children.  The language and content is very vulgar, living up to the expectations of 80's genre of sex and rock'n'roll.  I would leave the movie watchers to the ones who actually lived in the 80's.
