CGiii Comment
Just when you thought that the cinema was a safe haven from Glee...
Cruise is an Iggy Pop strutting Alice Cooper lookalike - with a, surprisingly, good voice.
There are too many edits...pop video or movie??? Difficult to tell in places.
The subplots are trivial and unnecessary...serving only to slow things down...Ms Zeta-Jones needn't have been present, her character is totally redundant...sloppy writing.
Theroux should never work again...his writing is profoundly abysmal...a shabby clone of Grease...propped up by some (dated) good tunes.
The direction...seriously, with this kind of budget...just not good enough.
No pace, no passion...watch Grease.

The(ir) Blurb...
1987. Naive Sherrie Christian has just arrived in Hollywood from Tulsa looking to become a rock star. She is just like Drew Boley was when he first arrived in Hollywood, he, now the Hollywood veteran, who works as a bar back at the Bourbon Club, known as the center of the rock scene in town and the place where many of the biggest acts in rock got their big break. The two meet as Drew helps Sherrie with a situation when she first arrives in town. Despite Dennis Dupree, the Bourbon's owner/manager, not liking to hire people like Drew or Sherrie - someone who has musical aspirations - as service staff, Drew is able to convince Dennis and his assistant Lonny to hire Sherrie as a server, Drew and Sherrie who have a blossoming mutual attraction. Dennis and Lonny, who are having financial difficulties, are able to convince rock star Stacee Jaxx, the perpetually stoned front man for the band Arsenal who got his first break performing at the Bourbon, to perform for free at a benefit concert
