Review of Rock of Ages (2012) by Steve G — 01 Oct 2013
There are no words to describe my disappointment. Rock of Ages (the Broadway show) is one of my favorite musicals, so of course I was hyped when a movie adaptation was announced. Yeah well, half of the lovable characters from the stage show are completely gone and pointless characters are added to replace them.
The plot is butchered from the stage show as well. But hey, what's the point of a musical, anyway? The music...which isn't as good as the stage show. And again, most of the songs are removed. Fans of the Broadway show, stay away.
General audience, if you can find joy in this, good on you. The good news is Tom Cruise makes a perfect Stacee Jaxx. Except for, you know, his singing voice.
