Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Olly Richards (291) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 13 Jun 2012

Like every one of its songs, it makes a lot of noise about nothing much and cockily straddles awfulness and greatness…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Manohla Dargis (1,909) for New York Times (5,786) on 13 Jun 2012

It looks like Disneyland and sounds, well, like a bad Broadway musical, with all the power belting and jazz-hand choreography that implies…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Joe Williams (923) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 13 Jun 2012

The only edge in the movie is represented by Russell Brand, who actually lived the lifestyle, but he's muzzled by a bad Liverpool accent and…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Connie Ogle (690) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 13 Jun 2012

For a movie that prides itself on celebrating music, Adam Shankman's Rock of Ages is oddly tone deaf…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 13 Jun 2012

Warning: If you have an allergic reaction to songs like Take Me Home Tonight and I Want to Know What Love Is, do not venture within 10 miles…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Michael Phillips (2,622) for Chicago Tribune (6,211) on 13 Jun 2012

The movie, full of talented performers in search of a more propulsive vehicle, settles for workmanlike cover-band status, which makes this…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Joe Morgenstern (2,395) for Wall Street Journal (3,071) on 13 Jun 2012

What's not fine is the dead zone occupied by the monster of the piece, Tom Cruise's veteran rocker, Stacee Jaxx…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 13 Jun 2012

Don't stop believing. Just avoid clichéd musicals that try to capture the anarchic spirit of rock with trite commercial re-treads…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Richard Corliss (1,032) for TIME Magazine (1,130) on 13 Jun 2012

Though it has moments where it rises to fun-awful status, with a hideous giddiness that turns moviegoers into rubbernecking motorists at a…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Marjorie Baumgarten (1,950) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 13 Jun 2012

Creating plot from lyrics, in this case, leads to heavy-handed literalism and limited creativity…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Peter Bradshaw (3,667) for Guardian (4,584) on 13 Jun 2012

Doubtless, like The Producers, it will be adapted back into the theatre, some time in 2017, at which time it will be even more bland and tiring…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Chris Hewitt (2,086) for St. Paul Pioneer Press (4,360) on 13 Jun 2012

If you know what it means to walk along the lonely street of dreams, I bet you'll think it's good, dumb fun…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Kimberly Gadette (432) for Doddle (184) on 13 Jun 2012

The creators have to either bring something new to the turntable, or construct a pastiche that smacks of such brilliance, that the audience…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Rebecca Murray (740) for About.com (1,470) on 13 Jun 2012

It's too bad the filmmakers didn't just let the music do all the talking…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Bob Bloom (1,124) for Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) (1,017) on 13 Jun 2012

(Tom) Cruise walks off with the film…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Austin Kennedy (419) for Sin Magazine (286) on 13 Jun 2012

The movie has it's tongue through it's cheek (as opposed to just tongue-in-cheek). It knows how stupid it is, and embraces it…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Jeffrey Lyles (696) for Lyles' Movie Files (591) on 13 Jun 2012

There's little more to it than a glorified karaoke night that hardly warrants putting your lighters up…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Cameron Williams (256) for The Popcorn Junkie (236) on 13 Jun 2012

It's karaoke night in Hollywood and a 10 drink minimum may be required to get any enjoyment out of it…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 13 Jun 2012

Yeah, it's kind of repetitive and something of a mess, but every time the chords of another classic song strike up, game audiences will find…

Review of Rock of Ages (2012)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 13 Jun 2012

Individually, all of these shortcomings could be tolerable; combined, they form an unholy alliance of painfully forced kitsch…
