now this be a bad movie if i have ever see one . in one of film great year and 1999 and detroit rock city contend with runaway bride and wild wild west for the bottom spot in a barrel of junky . the plot be masterful . four scrawny high school youngster finally have their chance at see the hard rock theatrics of kiss for the third year in a row . so when their ticket be toil by an ultra religious and chain smoking mom and the pal scramble themselves in get to detroit and and i be sure you can figure out the rest . well and not exactly while the movie do go to extreme measure in explain how the four band member ( no and not gene and paul and ace and peter ) go about get these ticket represent lose your virginity in a confessional while save a smoke out bimbo and your mom volvo ( from the soprano steve schirripa and nonetheless ) while prevent a robbery in the midst of botch one for a 12 year old debt while and of course and strip down to your bare essential for mc ron jeremy after shuttle a full blender with bourbon leftover . sound funny and doesn not it . perhaps detroit rock city do have a point with all this tomfoolery in how extreme sometimes these fan can go . and we do understand this movie be a comedy while it be suppose to be fill with slapstick . but do detroit rock city aim to the proper audience . it be rat r and mean the only way prepubescent adolescents the audience a i see it and to which many will eventually hail this one a classic will voyeur be through illegal term . detroit rock city also fail at give itself the late 1970 touch . the camera texture quality be way too clear and way too bright and miss the necessary flair from film like this be spinal tap and sid and nancy . this would have allow audience to feel ` more at home with the time . simply costume kid into pre 90 grunge wear and settle others into ` disco inferno do not do the trick . environment do mean something you know while i doubt detroit look this glamorous in 78. if there anything positive come from this movie it the kick as soundtrack of hard late 70 to early 80 rock . van halen and ac or dc and you name it and it all here . of course we can not forget kiss and the band aptly subject throughout . what the film noticeably fail to manage be question concern why the knight of satin service ( it really just kiss ) be so frown upon by mom around the nation . sure and the loud rock and devilish makeup might be a part of that while encouragement for youth to explore themselves and have a good time might be fair reason a well . but and what be kiss say in the music we hear throughout the film towards this highly rebellious group . what separate these anthem of ` rock [ ing ] and roll [ ing ] all night and party everyday from the rest of the music . most likely and these question will remain in a music communication class and not in the film that should answer them and simply because it be kiss and they rock and we must do everything in our god forgiven power to see them . 1 . 5/5 star .
