(-) Poor storyline, unconvincing characters- there's nothing to make the audience really care about this film!

2 excerpts. paragraph 1 and 5

1.

No one going to watch Rock of Ages can possibly be expecting a deeply profound look at the music scene of the late 1980’s- and they certainly won’t get it. The film is an impenitently cheesy journey through 80’s rock and pop. One of its main selling points is surely the chance to see various stars trying to screech their way through classic 80s hits, as has been done before.

5.

Although this film is unapologetically camp and cheesy, it’s not in an enjoyable, laugh-out-loud way so much as an ‘I’m wasting 2 hours of my life watching this’ kind of way. The songs are by far the most enjoyable parts of the film, and even they have been so overplayed over the years that they fail to make up for the overall experience of the film, which is likely to leave audiences restless and unsatisfied.

just surfing the net and found the review. thought it'd be interesting to post it.
