Definitely nothing spectacular but I actually enjoyed it. The whole hair metal thing is a guitly pleasure to watch and some of the "Steel Dragon" songs are pretty catchy. Mark Wahlberg isn't too bad in this and even Jennifer Aniston is semi-tolerable... (read more)

Una parodia de lo que era el rock en los 80's, no es la mejor movie ni de Mark Wahlberg ni de Jennifer Aniston pero entretiene.

An irresistible movie about a guy who goes on a journey, the kind an audience can't wait to take with him.

By the end of the film I conceded, yes, there are good performances and the period is well captured, but the movie didn't convince me of the feel and the flavor of its experiences.

The movie is all formula. But then, so is Jack Daniel's.
