    Not for everyone

    by Txye

    Although it was obvious that there would be a lot of Rock songs in the movie it was a little unexpected to see a rock musical kind of flick. There were quite a few funny parts throughout the show creating a genuine laughter and scenes designed to be aluring to a healthy mix of a diverse audience. The cinematography was better than average and the show really rocked! Still even a good show as this one is not for everyone...the man next to me started to snore for a few minutes and eventually left before half the movie had shown.

    Attention Alec Baldwin and Tom Cruise fans

    by

    I wasn't sure if I wanted to see this movie, but I sure was surprised by the cast. The beginning was boring but once Alec and Tom came then it turned around. Alec did a great job of playing the bar manager. It was his lines, character, just Alec being Alec. He's just one of the actors that can play a wide range...Oh boy Tom cruise did a great job as well!....The way Tom played "Stacey Jaxx" was just something....He had the lines, costumes, and just really did a great job playing a singer of all the various ones combined!...There were just so many funny scenes.....I'm not a big fan of musicals, but Alec and Tom sure did a great job!....It was just so fun to hear the original versions in the background.....

    1 Part Campy, 2 Parts Funny, 3 Parts Romantic + 10 parts Rock & Roll = 1 Great Movie!

    by naturelover

    One of my favorite movies of the year! The best of the summer movies. One of the funniest movies of the year too - got a lot of laughs. I was taping my foot and rock'in my head from the get go and quietly singing along- I wanted to sing out loud, but the crowd didn't go to hear me sing, so I just sang along to myself. Great songs, well sung and well performed. Loved seeing Tom Cruise get his rock on and bring some heart too! Julianne and Diego were wonderful- remind you of being young. Alex and Russel so fun. Kathryn made a fuddy duddy of role and made it sexy. And loved Mary J Blige's singing- sounded better than ever! Great casting and performances all around. A fun romp to great songs of rock. I enjoyed the story, hadn't seen on Broadway, but sure you'll love it whether you've seen the staged musical or not. A feel good movie.

    Loved this Movie

    by conway3000

    I thoroughly enjoyed Rock of Ages. Cruise is absolutely wonderful as Stacee Jax. I saw the play first run on Broadway and Cruise was much better as Stacee Jax than the person who originated the role on Broadway. Alex Baldwin, Russell Brand are both hilarious. Catherine Zeta Jones brings all of her talent to her role. I love watching her sing and dance. Giamatti as well as Mary Lou Blige also perform well. The two newcomers Julianne Haugh and Diego B do well as the sweet young performers. Julianne Haugh is gorgeous. I loved revisiting all of Rock of Ages wonderful songs. Cruise's singing voice is terrific.

    Brings back memories!

    by vmitro1

    This movie was corny, but we still enjoyed it. Spend the couple of bucks and see it with a friend that liked the music from then just as much as you.

    It is also doesnt have nudity (stripper scenes yes, but no nudity in these scenes) or F bombs, so you can take your teenagers.

    I saw this with a friend, simultaneously in another state. We called each other afterwards as planned, and talked and laughed and reminisced! Whenever we hear "Sister Christian" we get taken right back to our youth. And you will too. Acting was great, we liked Tom C more than I thought I would. All the actors were great actually, Mary J Blige, Alec Baldwin, etc. Writing was good; they paid homage to others of that era, and only some of us got the references!

    I know I felt good and happy when I left the theater, and I like that. This isn't a must, you can wait til dvd. But if you are looking for a simple inexpensive fun night out, go see this movie.

    Rock of Ages

    by tpp

    More of a musical than a movie, but very funny at times. It reminded me of a Saturday Nite Live skit. Acting is not great at times.

    THIS MOVIE IS A BLAST!

    by cissymac

    GREAT ROCK N ROLL!! And if you're a fan of Tom Cruise & Alec Baldwin you are gonna love this movie. Can't believe Tom Cruise can sing like a rock star! If you love music from the 80's or a fan of classic rock--THIS IS YOUR MOVIE!

    LOVED Rock of Ages!!

    by bklobe

    This movie had me laughing the entire time - the casting was superb, very sophisticated humor - especially if you know the music & the era - it was such a fun parody of the times!! Loved everyone, Catherine Zeta-Jones was hilarious, Alex Baldwin was perfect & Tom Cruise had it nailed!

    Mindlessly entertaining...

    by VinceP98

    Whatever you do, don't go into the theater expecting a "West Side Story" replacement. If you do, you're going to come out hating this film. If you want something light, fluffy, cheesy and requiring nothing more than the desire to be entertained, then this movie fits the bill. Tom Cruise looks as if he's really enjoying himself and, for once, you actually forget for a bit that he's Tom Cruise. It was a real treat and a surprise. I wasn't expecting much, but I definitely got more than I expected!

    by gresnick3

    I am so glad I saw the movie and not the show!! Tom Cruise..omg!! Who knew; not only that he could sing...but that e could be so raunchy!!!!! Russell Brand should give up his comedic acting and concentrate on singing! Alex Baldwin kissing a guy...what a surprise. Good acting

    Weird

    by johnnydfan

    This is a movie to see if you have absolutely nothing else to do. This is a Musical movie. It is not a movie with music in it. Everyone is breaking out in song at the drop of a hat and the choices are laughable. We considering walking out several times in the beginning. Julianna Hough and Diego are a joke. You don't really care about them and their acting is subpar. The best part of the movie is Tom Cruise. At least he is fun to watch but his character is very slow and pretty much monotone. He is the God in the movie and plays a mumbling and self obsessed idol. This is not for children as there is a lot of sexual innuendos. There is also a strip club featured and lots of girls pole dancing.

    fun campy musical - YES 'MUSICAL'!

    by whitehusky

    Since I was in my twenties during the eighties this show brought back a lot of memories. How anyone could fail to realize that this show is a 'musical' is beyond me, and it does a good job for the genre. Yes, the cast breaks into song constantly and in the seemingly weirdest places under the most unlikely circumstances - but that is what a musical does! It features MUSIC and lots of it! It isn't drama - it isn't Shakespeare - it is ROCK! Yes, it was cheesy, raunchy, sexual, low on major dialogue, etc. but it was a fun, feel good type movie that especially if you know the songs it will have you rocking along. Cruise did a great job - I was both fascinated and amazed (and sometimes creeped out) by his performance. He was the stereotypical 'rock god'! The best advice is to just not think - just go with the flow and enjoy the show/music. I found it to be very entertaining!

MSLisaChang It's all good when the banker from Boston is hitting on you until he says Rock Of Ages was too gay. That would mean I'm on fire.
