Product Description

In Rock Star, by day Chris Cole repairs photocopiers. By night he takes the stage as frontman for a tribute band emulating Steel Dragon, the world's hottest heavy-metal band. Then, suddenly, opportunity rocks: Chris is tapped to become Steel Dragon's new lead singer. Just like that, he goes from small-town nobody to megastar - and just like that, he and his manager/girlfriend Emily enter a world crazier than either imagined. Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston headline and Stephen Herek directs this knowing, chord-crunching, hair-whipping look at '80s arena rock and the price of fame. Filled with style, strut, and the feel of an era, Rock Star gets it right.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock star-A look into the wild side., Jun 3 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock Star (Widescreen) (DVD)

This movie is great because it shows you exactly what goes on behind the scenes. Wahlbergh plays the once no-name singer to a well known metal star. Jennifer Aniston plays his girlfriend/manager who eventually gets pushed in the backround of this Metal world. Being based on Judas Preists story of Fan turned Metal singer I think it is a very good movie.It is possible! Dreams do come true!! I would recommend this movie also because of the made up band with Jason Bonham in it,Zak wyle, and because it is a glimpse of that world.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good role for Aniston, Jun 1 2004

This review is from: Rock Star (Widescreen) (DVD)

Even Aniston does not know what she was thinking when she did this movie but I rather liked her role as Emily, the girlfriend/manager of Chris, a wannabe of Bobby Beers, lead singer of the metal band Steel Dragon.

Emily is not a groupie, she is a self-professed businesswoman, who sees talent and determination in Chris and wants his tribute band to be a success. I liked seeing that she took out loans and did small business ventures -- she had a life other than "helping her man", and, when Chris' career soars as a replacement to his esteemed Bobby Beers playing with his idols, this becomes a conflict between them.

As for Chris -- who morphs into "Izzy" when he is famous --- he doesn't know where Steel Dragon ends and he begins. He hasn't in ages, as his friends and family points out. Will he ever?

I did like that Chris' parents are so cool, they support his rock n' roll fantasies and come to his shows. It would be too cliche to have a dad who just doesn't understand him.

Mark Wahlberg demonstrates the same vulnerability he brought to Dirk Diggler in "Boogie Nights". He is believable as the kid who just wants to make his dreams come true. I like that they play his song "Good Vibrations" as he started his career as a rapper before becoming an actor. It was a fun and fitting tribute.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Star Rocks!, May 15 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Rock Star (Widescreen) (DVD)

When I first saw the movie "Rock Star" on VH1, I was laughing so hard I had to hold on to my seat. It has a good plot of a man getting his dream and its little dashes of discreet humor give it the perfect touch. It is one of my favorite movies of all time and I guarantee you will be laughing hysterically at one point or another. If you are thinking of buying this DVD, hesitate no more. It's a guaranteed hit and you will love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good
While I'm not a fan of Mark Wahlberg's action flicks, "Boogie Nights" remains one of my favorite films ever in large part to his performance as rising porn star "Dirk Diggler". Read more
