It’s certainly not something you’d feel comfortable watching with your whole family, thanks to an abundance of strippers and sexual content that pushes the PG-13 limit into even sleazier territory. While the poster bills the movie as “nothin’ but a good time,” and there’s certainly nothing wrong with that in these lazier summer months, Rock of Ages doesn’t even live up to that promise most of the time. And while he probably won’t score a GRAMMY nomination for his vocal stylings any time soon, he definitely holds his own as he performs everything from Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” to Def Leppard’s “Pour Some Sugar on Me.”īut aside from reviving the guilty pleasure tracks from the era of decadence and showcasing just how awful ‘80s fashion was (overly hair-sprayed bangs and neon, anyone?), what exactly is the point of Rock of Ages? After all, thanks to “Glee,” Journey has already earned plenty more royalties for “Don’t Stop Believin’” and it’s highly doubtful that anyone’s been demanding a reprise of Starship’s “We Built This City.” Love him or loathe him, one thing’s for sure: no one can say that Tom Cruise ( Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol) didn’t fully commit to his role as an aging rock star in the manner of Axl Rose in Rock of Ages.Ī startlingly intense presence draped in faux fur, tattoos and groupies with the requisite eyeliner and wide headband to keep all that greasy hair out of his face, Cruise ends up stealing every scene he’s in as the thoroughly smarmy Stacee Jaxx.
Rating: PG-13 (for sexual content, suggestive dancing, heavy drinking and language)Īctors: Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Bryan Cranston, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti, Malin Ackerman, Mary J.
