See itвЂ™s ArsenalвЂ™s last concert before their eccentric lead singer Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) goes solo. Dennis hopes this dilemma will be solved by the upcoming appearance by the biggest band in the world, Arsenal. Despite being a legendary venue, the club is in some financial trouble. The Bourbon Room is run by owner Dennis Dupree (Alec Baldwin) and his loyal assistant Lonny (Russell Brand). To her rescue comes a city boy named Drew (Diego Boneta), who gets her a job at the most famous rock club in town, The Bourbon Room. YouвЂ™d think Sherrie would know the city can be a dangerous place since her suitcase contains only rock albums and both Poison and Guns NвЂ™ Roses have cautionary songs about this very thing, but Sherrie is adorably naive. Upon arrival, she is immediately robbed, which tends to happen to small town girls that move to the city to chase their dreams ( Showgirls, Burlesque, Coyote Ugly). SheвЂ™s on a bus to LA to win big and chase her dreams of becoming a singer. Sherrie (Julianne Hough) is a starry-eyed small town girl who did her hair and looks real pretty. Anyone whoвЂ™s curious can read the original synopsis here. Directed by Adam Shankman (2007вЂ™s Hairspray) with a screenplay by Justin Theroux ( Tropic Thunder, Iron Man) and Chris DвЂ™Arienzo (writer of the book and stage show on which the film is based), fans of the Broadway show will notice many changes and omissions to the plot. ItвЂ™s what is referred to as a вЂњjukebox musicalвЂќ meaning the score is composed of existing popular songs rather than original music written for the production.

Rock of Ages is the movie adaptation of the Broadway hit of the same name. IвЂ™m a child of the 80вЂ™s, I love this shit. Because, 1) A lot of really great music came out of the 80вЂ™s including many of the songs in this film and B) It was over-the-top and cheesy. And not to snark on it and put it down, which leading up to the release seemed to be the popular thing to do from two sides: People that think 80вЂ™s power ballads are the epitome of garbage music (have you listened to the Top 40 lately?) and on the other end of the spectrum, fans of the genre that take things way too seriously and are angry about a fun movie musical having the nerve to poke fun at hair metal.Д«oth sides are wrong of course.
