FILM: Rock Star (From Archives)

What do you get when you make a comedy that's overly dramatic, or a drama that's not too funny? This film! Even though the film is uninspiring, Jennifer Aniston emerges mostly unscathed. Note to the filmmakers: If you're going to have your hero become a big jerk rock-n-roller, it might help if he was at least a little bit charismatic to begin with. The "hero's journey" from "bitter moron" to "irredeemable lout" is a short one. This film somehow manages to take a great idea and kill it. Granted, mocking 80's metal was done to perfection in This Is Spinal Tap. Is that why this movie had to be so damn serious?
