| Jan 29, 2009Urban Cinefile
The crass ugliness of excess, orgies, trashed hotel rooms and groupies with 'pussy passes' are candidly exposed, and Rock Star delivers more than expected by bringing us back to reality in an unexpected and understated way.
For the first time Jennifer Aniston (who looks sensational) is given an opportunity to portray a character with more than the sweet and lightness of her TV persona.

Though we've seen this before with different actors, different styles, and the Hollywood unsurprising ending, this is a very enjoyable movie that will have you in good spirits.
Technically, the soundtrack is high-quality and the acting is respectable.

It's easy to pinpoint: Rock Star lacks soul.
In all fairness, the music in Rock Star has a nice, full energy.
Aniston, however, looks bewildered and out of place.
